Description

This Newbery Honor book by award-winning, bestselling author Nancy Farmer is being reissued in paperback! Eleven-year-old Nhamo lives in a traditional village in Mozambique, where she doesn't quite fit in. When her family tries to force her into marrying a cruel man, she runs away to Zimbabwe, hoping to find the father she's never met. But what should have been a short boat trip across the border turns into a dangerous year-long adventure, and Nhamo must summon her innermost courage to ensure her survival.

Author Biography:

Before becoming a writer, Nancy Farmer lived in Africa, and her work there included monitoring water weeds in Mozambique and helping to control tsetse flies in Zimbabwe. Since then, she has earned a host of prestigious awards for her writing, including three Newbery Honors for "The Ear, The Eye, and The Arm"; "A Girl Named Disaster"; and "The House of the Scorpion." She lives in Menlo Park, California, with her husband. Visit her online at www.nancyfarmerwebsite.com.
