Klappentext

An NPR Best Book of the Year "A must-read!"---Alan Gratz, New York Times bestselling author of Refugee

For fans of A Long Walk to Water and Hatchet , this gripping journey from poverty to empowerment transports readers to modern-day Ghana, into the throes of an extraordinary survival story.

Sena treasures his life in rural Ghana---playing soccer, working the family farm, striving to do his best at school---but he is increasingly aware of his family's precarious security in the face of poverty. When an alluring gentleman comes to town to befriend local teenagers, offering promises of a better future, it only takes one more unsettling turn of events to send Sena into the clutches of human traffickers. Sena's ordeal, escape, and remarkable survival makes for a page-turning adventure of self-discovery and empowerment.
