Journey to Jo'burg

A poignant journey through apartheid-era South Africa.

If you're looking to delve into the complexities and emotional weight of apartheid, "Journey to Jo'burg" will transport you right to the heart of South Africa during a tumultuous period. Told with both warmth and gravity, it paints a picture of a reality that's both challenging and enlightening, especially for younger readers seeking to understand historical injustices through accessible literature.
