Title: Who? What? Where am I?
Author: Aishah Moga

Even though it is history, writer Aishah Moga makes it seem so relevant and alive. Who? What? Where am I? is a heart warming tale of a family caught up in the net of Apartheid.
Set in the past, the one thing I really admired about this book was the fact that she had substantial proof to back up her story. She accomplished this by making note of some of the laws passed and implemented by the Government of that time. This is also a portrayal of her research and background knowledge taken into account into preparing for this book.
While the story is centered around a young eight year-old black boy; John and his mother have to deal with the problems facing his father and the laws which separate the family; it is also host to a white family living on the coast of South Africa.
While John and his family try to reunite, the story unfolds. Where the road leads to…it’s up to you to find out!
