* A Chicago Public Library’s Best of the Best Books of 2019 Selection * A Canadian Children’s Book Center Best Books for Kids & Teens Pick * From debut author Tina Athaide comes a soaring tale of empathy, hope, and resilience, as two best friends living under Ugandan President Amin’s divisive rule must examine where—and who—they call home. Perfect for fans of Half from the East and Inside Out and Back Again. Asha and her best friend, Yesofu, never cared about the differences between them: Indian. African. Girl. Boy. Short. Tall. But when Idi Amin announces that Indians have ninety days to leave the country, suddenly those differences are the only things that people in Entebbe can see—not the shared after-school samosas or Asha cheering for Yesofu at every cricket game. Determined for her life to stay the same, Asha clings to her world tighter than ever before. But Yesofu is torn, pulled between his friends, his family, and a promise of a better future. Now as neighbors leave and soldiers line the streets, the two friends find that nothing seems sure—not even their friendship. Tensions between Indians and Africans intensify and the deadline to leave is fast approaching. Could the bravest thing of all be to let each other go?

Pages : 97
Book Description
Based On Real Events It's the mid 1980s—a time of leg warmers and Walkmans, a period when technology was starting to take shape, yet tradition still had its strong foundations. The world was an expanse of contrasts, nowhere more so than in the lives of two young individuals: one from the sunburned expanses of Barmera, a quaint town in South Australia's Riverland; and the other from the bustling, neon-lit streets of Tokyo, Japan. Two lives, impossibly different, each characterised by their own forms of simplicity and complexity, familiarity and strangeness. And yet, destiny has a way of weaving tales from the most unlikely threads. Their worlds were destined to collide, challenging their views on love, culture, and what it means to truly be with someone. This is a tale of love, destined to be together by chance, but challenged by the vast distance between them and their immensely different backgrounds. As you turn the pages, you will walk with them through the sunsets of Australia and the neon nights of Tokyo. You'll share their joys, struggles, triumphs, and setbacks. And you'll witness how two individuals separated by geography and culture are united in their search for love and meaning amidst life's unpredictability. Two souls, separated by boundless oceans and contrasting worlds, bound together by a love that defies all odds. Will fate be the force that keeps them apart or the bridge that brings them together? In a world marked by differences they'll find that the language of love is universal—even if it speaks in diverse dialects. A True Story This novel is inspired by true events and real-life experiences. However, names and other identifying details have been changed to protect the privacy and anonymity of the individuals involved. While the story aims to reflect the emotional truth of the events it depicts, it should be noted that some liberties have been taken with the timeline, events, and conversations for the sake of narrative coherence.
