Week 1 Post B

This book takes place in Nigeria, and is about the lives of two children, Sade and Femi. Their father, Folarin is a reporter who is disliked and seen as a threat to the Nigerian government. He writes freely about controversial issues and also expresses his opinion freely, which is beginning to get him into a lot of trouble. Just recently his wife was murdered while walking home, which was meant to be a warning sign to Folarin to stop what he is doing and a punishment, because he has already croosed the line. Folarin is now trying to escape with his children to London, since he realizes the situation has gone out of control. But as he is about to leave, policemen break into his home and confiscate his passport. However, Uncle Tunde is able to find a woman who is willing to take Sade and Femi with fake passports. Hopefully, the plan works well and Sade and Femi are able to arrive safely to London. It must be tough for them to leave their lives in Nigeria, even though it's for the better, the hardest part for them is that they aren't allowed to tell anyone, not even their closest friends.
