Publisher Description:
An inspiring story of one child's courage and ability to overcome obstacles, this novel illustrates the journey of Diko, a young boy from Cameroon who dreams of another life. Driven by the harsh nature of his daily routine, Diko decides to tear down the barriers that separate his region from the North and embark on a risky adventure to make it to Europe. Rich, realistic characters and fervent descriptions of the landscape introduce young readers to a new culture--its traditions, its joys, and its hardships. "Una historia inspiradora de la lucha y la superacion de un chico, esta novela ilustra el viaje de Diko, un joven de Camerun que suena con otra vida. Impulsado por la crudeza de su vida cotidiana, Diko decide derribar las barreras que lo separan del norte y embarcarse en la aventura arriesgada de llegar a Europa. Personajes ricos y realistas y descripciones apasionadas del paisaje les presentan a los jovenes lectores una cultura nueva--sus tradiciones, sus alegrias y sus dificultades."
