Title: Misunderstood
Misunderstood, a well written book on the hardships of apartheid where one is helped to create a greater understanding of how many people struggled and died for the freedom of this country. The mind set created is that of a girl who struggles in life to accomplish her dreams and learns to stand proud in what she believes in.
The writer’s moral of the story is very clear which is you should never give up in life, always try your best and you sure to succeed. The book shows racial discrimination between whites and non-whites and talks about non-whites fought for the freedom of this country even with all the pain and suffering they went through. It also changes the stereotyping of many who believed that only blacks fought for this countries freedom.
I really enjoyed the book and believe that it is a perfect book for a learner between the ages of 10 and 12
