The Kind Gang

by Bob Kisiki

A lively and sensitive first person narrative of the life of a young boy in Uganda, particularly appealing to younger readers. Awazi Kati tells the story of his childhood and upbringing, and close relationship with his father, a kiosk small-businessman, and liberal Muslim, whom he admires and trusts. But when his father is accused of being a thief, and then pays for his crime with his life, Awazi is confronted with his father's own belief that people cannot be trusted, and his life changes radically.
