The quiet of Dani's hiding place in the dark graveyard was distributed by the sound of someone panting close by. Instantly awake, he saw a wild-looking figure: a tall thin creature who stood staring at him, poised for flight. Dani and Mano. They should never have met. Dani goes to the best school in Ethiopia lives in a grand house full of servants. Mano has never learned to read or write and his home is a shack. But when both boys become runaways, their paths cross. Hiding from the police and scrounging on garbage tips, their only chance for survival on the streets of Addis Ababa is to trust each other with their lives.
