It is a book set in Zimbabwe after the a racial war during the 1970’s.When Robert Jacklin moves from England (Pommesland) and goes to Africa because of his dad’s work. He does not like it so much at first. He meets Nelson and they become friends, but then Robert betrays Nelson for Ivan, the bully. Robert and Ivan become great friends but Robert is not too sure about how he feels about Ivan, the way he goes about things. I liked all of the characters even Ivan, Ivan was definitely a fun character and more interesting than the others. Robert was quite a shy boy until he let himself go near the end of the book as he had, had enough of all the bad things he was watching go on. It was action packed when the story got going but it took a while to get started. I would have loved it more if it had got going a bit faster but other than that it was a great book. Jason Wallace has written it in a way that brings the characters to life.
