I LOVED this book! I'ts about a girl who's mother had just been shot because her dad writes the truth. Confusing? Well, some gunmen had been aiming for her father, but got her mother instead. Anyways, Sade and her brother Femi have to move to London to be safe. There, the get tossed from foster home to foster home when their uncle goes missing. Want to know more? You'll just have to read the book!

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with you guys. To be completely honest, I didn't like this book. Through a lot of it I was thinking "Oh, come on!" . I'm sorry, but this book was pretty cheesy. In my opinion anyway.
