Habo is the cause of all of his family’s troubles.  He has known this his entire life.  Habo was born albino – a condition terrifying to his rural Tanzanian community.  When his mother and siblings find themselves no longer capable of survival in their village, they begin a cross-country journey which will put Habo in harm’s way over and over again.  This riveting tale is based on fact.  Although Habo and the specifics of his story are fictional, albinism is a source of fear and danger in Tanzania.  Some believe that certain parts of an albino body can bring good luck – leading to albino people being literally hunted in the streets of some areas.  Sullivan takes those facts and spins a spellbinding adventure story of a boy discovering both the world and his unique place in that world.  Highly recommended for all libraries serving teens.
