Synopsis

Some people think that slavery ended with the abolition of the slave trade but sadly it didn't. All over the world children go missing. Sometimes they run away from home. Others are kidnapped, sold or abused. Some are even killed. This is the story of Martin Mandela, a Zimbabwean refugee. He runs away from his home and survives as part of a gang on the streets of Johannesburg. He is a good friend and hero and has several adventures before being befriended by Sister Louisa, an Irish missionary who takes him to the United Kingdom, where he is able to live in safety. He never forgets the past and the traumas that have shaped him, and when a little African girl goes missing in London he becomes suspicious. Together with his friend Jenny, a fellow refugee from their homeland, Zimbabwe they manage to rescue Rachel and save her and two other girls from the horrors of child trafficking. The story is based on true events and real children. The names have been changed.

Biographie de l'auteur

Abigail Mwantembe was born in Zimbabwe and spent most of her life in southern Africa working with AIDS orphans in Lusaka and street children in Johannesburg. She has written for an educational series dealing with serious issues such as 'living with HIV/AIDS,' 'alternatives to violence' and the 'discrimination of girls in school.' As a child she never liked to read books about wizards and magic or things that aren't believable and much preferred books about real people and real events. She believes that writing about these issues raises young people's awareness of what is happening to children in developing countries. She is passionate about the state of affairs in Zimbabwe and hopes that there will soon be an end to the horrible regime raging there. Her 'paradise on earth' is the Luangwa Valley in Zambia where she loves to watch, photograph and sometimes paint or draw the elephants.She now lives in Europe, plays lots of golf with either one or all of her four children. She listens to REM, Pink Floyd or the Killers on her I pod and reads romantic 'girlie' classics like Gone with the Wind, Rebecca or Jane Eyre.
