{"product_id":"journey-to-joburg-a-south-african-story","title":"Journey to Jo'burg A South African Story","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the story of love, commitment and the flowering of the human spirit against the background of South Africa's apartheid.   Frightened that their baby sister Dineo will die, thirteen-year-old Naledi and her younger brother Tiro run away from their grandmother to Johannesburg to find their mother, who works there as a maid. Their journey illustrates at every turn the grim realities of apartheid - the pass laws, bantustans, racism, the breakdown of family life. The opulence of the white \"Madam's\" house contrasts starkly with the reality that Naledi and Tiro face - that their baby sister is suffering from starvation, not an incurable disease. This edition of Beverley Naidoo's classic story includes a special \"Why You'll Love This Book\" introduction by Michael Rosen, former Children's Laureate.\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 197 x 130\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor: Beverley Naidoo\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN: 9780007263509\u003cbr\u003e\nFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 88\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"bookhero.ae","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46113941848217,"sku":"16RA-1-9780007263509","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/5696\/6297\/files\/697102e2a6150_Journey_to_Jo_burg_A_South_African_Story.jpg?v=1769508762","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.ae\/products\/journey-to-joburg-a-south-african-story","provider":"Dubai - Buy Used\/Second-Hand Books - BookHero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
