A beautifully written and paced story, sure to capture the imagination of both teenagers and adult readers. Set in Toronto, two girls, Margaret -- a second generation West Indian immigrant -- and Sulma -- fresh up from a joyous life with her grandmother in Tobago to a tense and unhappy relationship with her mother and stepfather -- become friends and comrades in various adventures.

Margret hat es satt, immer brav zu sein, nur weil ihr Vater meint, dass Schwarze in Kanada nicht unangenehm auffallen dürfen.
