Genre: Historical fiction, Historical fiction Availability:1 of 1 At Location(s) Summary Note: "Asha and her best friend, Yesofu, never cared about the differences between them: African. Girl. Boy. Short. Tall. But when Ugandan President 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 that could bring his dreams of university within reach. Now, as neighbours leave and soldiers line the streets, the two friends find that nothing seems sure--not even their friendship. And with only days before the deadline, Asha and Yesofu must decide if the bravest thing of all might be to let each other go."--Back cover.
