Under the African Sun

Tendele. The most magical place on earth. Here, lush green fields stretch as far as the eye can see, and the only sounds you hear are cows mooing, a murmuring stream, and the beating of drums accompanied by the song of the Zulu people. This is the beloved home of eleven-year-old Simon Mabahne. But school and other duties tear Simon away from this blissful world and pull him into the harshness of the city. For a poverty-stricken Zulu boy, challenges lie waiting everywhere. Simon, however, is driven by a passion. Soccer. And a dream. To command the respect of everyone by becoming the worlds greatest soccer player. It is this feverish desire that feeds him with strength as he tackles each problem that comes in the way of his goals.Moodley, Ermila is the author of 'Under the African Sun', published 2003 under ISBN 9781592862672 and ISBN 1592862675.
