Synopsis
After their mother is murdered as a reprisal for the work of their outspoken journalist father, 12-year-old Sade and her younger brother are sent from their home in Nigeria to live with their uncle in London. However, when they arrive at their uncle's house, Sade and her brother discover that he is missing. Forced to live in a series of foster homes, the siblings are happy when they learn their father has escaped from Nigeria and is looking for them in England. Still, their father is in danger of being sent back to the dangers of Nigeria unless Sade can find a way to save him. Winner of the Carnegie Medal 2000, this book was also named one of the Best Children's Books 2001 by Publishers Weekly, as well as a finalist in the Young Adult Fiction category for the 2002 Los Angeles Times Book Prize.
Smuggled out of Nigeria after their mother's murder, Sade and her younger brother are abandoned in London when their uncle fails to meet them at the airport and they are fearful of their new surroundings and of what may have happened to their journalist father back in Nigeria.

Publisher's Note

Will the truth harm them -- or save them?

When Nigeria's corrupt military government kills their mother, twelve-year-old Sade and her brother Femi think their lives are over. Out of fear for their safety, their father, an outspoken journalist, decides to smuggle the children out of Nigeria and into London, where their uncle lives. But when they get to the cold and massive city, they find themselves lost and alone, with no one to trust and no idea when -- or if -- they will ever see their father again.

The Other Side of Truth is a gripping adventure story about courage, family, and the power of truth.



Industry reviews
"Far from being a patronizing glimpse of life in the third world, this is a vivid portrayal of complex people caught in complex webs using their own culture for strength in a time of need. Real-world scary."
Kirkus Reviews  (07/01/2001)

"The plight of refugees is powerfully conveyed; the sense of loss...is visceral."
Globe and Mail (Toronto) - Susan Perren (04/06/2002)

"Seamlessly integrated information and even more telling details introduce readers to the ethical complexities of global politics...while giving equal attention to family dynamics and individual psychologies....deserves an international readership."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books  (09/01/2001)
