Leon is nine, and has a perfect baby brother called Jake. They have moved in with Maureen, who has fuzzy red hair and a belly like Father Christmas. But the adults are speaking in whispers. They are giving Jake to strangers. Because he is white and Leon is not. This is a story of love, identity and learning to overcome unbearable loss. And when we least expect it - we manage to find our way home.
I wasn't expected such a dark topic with this one, but I am glad that it turned out like this. It reminded me a lot of rock in the belly by Jon Bauer. I wasn't trusting Maureen till the very end! The story of Leon is a story read by many over this summer. We already put it up as a bookclub suggestion and cannot wait for the wonderful discussions this book will supply.. A summer hit for sure!
