The Tribe by Michael Mohammed Ahmad

4.0

I read this in a couple of hours and enjoyed it. I have to agree with some of the critiques though around the language of the narrator and how unlike a 7 yr old/9 yr old/11 yr old he is.

“I’m scared to stare at the sun – if I look for too long I might be incinerated. It is a kind of respect forced upon us by nature” just doesn't seem like any of the 9 year olds I know.

I would be very interested in seeing the play that this work was turned into!
