Descriere
Winner of the 2014 UKLA Award Deo is a great footballer, a fierce protector of his older brother, Innocent. His brother is easily nervous, easily happy but good at keeping score on the dusty fields of Zimbabwe where the boys play. Deo and Innocent's journey is a universal story of hope in the face of despair, and the search for a better life.

"A harrowing tale of modern Zimbabwe... gripping, suspenseful and deeply compassionate."—Kirkus (starred review)
"There is plenty of material to captivate readers: fast-paced soccer matches every bit as tough as the players; the determination of Deo and his fellow refugees to survive unthinkably harsh conditions; and raw depictions of violence... But it's the tender relationship between Deo and Innocent, along with some heartbreaking twists of fate, that will endure in readers' minds."—PW(starred review)
"Williams tells his story simply and unflinchinglywith depictions of tremendous violence, hard-fought soccer matches, andthe loving bond between the brothers. Deo's narration provides an immediacy thatis only compounded by the tale's fast pacing and suspense. The author givesreaders complicated and compelling characters for whom they will cheer, crywith, and love."
—SLJ (starred review)
"Williams skillfully draws the plight of these refugee brothers with both suspense and sympathy, and readers cannot help but root for them in their quest to rebuild their broken lives...
