One shadow on the wall

One of the best books I've read this year. Leah Henderson's debut novel is simply captivating. A beautifully written tale of a young boy in Senegal who is determined to keep his family together - despite the very real dangers that come his way. Young Mor is faced with one tough decision after another, but with the help of his neighbors, his friends, and his family, Mor finds the will to not only survive, but to thrive. A gorgeous debut that is a must for every school and library collection.
