About this book
The Other Side of Truth is about twelve-year-old Sade and her younger brother Femi, who are smuggled out of Nigeria to London after their mother is killed by the corrupt military government. Their father, an outspoken journalist, sends them to live with their uncle, but when they arrive in the city, they find themselves lost and alone with no one to trust. The children must navigate the cold, massive city while wondering if they will ever see their father again.
