CHILDREN OF THE STONE CITY

Twelve-year-old Adam and his sister Leila live in the Stone City, where they are second-class citizens.

"In Adam, Leila and Zak, Naidoo has reached into the playful, creative hearts of young people living in a deeply segregated city … In their dreams and their bravery, a torch light of hope is lit by Naidoo’s lyrical prose and passed onto readers themselves living in a deeply divided world." Sita Brahmachari, author of Artichoke Hearts

Beverley Naidoo's young adult novels include Journey to Jo’burg, The Other Side of Truth (winner of the Carnegie Medal), Web of Lies, Out of Bounds, No Turning Back, and Burn My Heart. She grew up in South Africa and lives in the UK.
