This is one a series of original stories designed for the 12 to 16 age-group. All the stories have a strong African flavour. When Oupa dies, fourteen-year-old Manie and his little sister Trina are left to fend for themselves in the harsh, dusty Karoo. Their only home is a wooden cart, pulled by their donkeys, Jaap and Koos. Behind them is a home they dare not go back to. Ahead of them lies Cape Town - a city full of hope and danger.
