'If you won't stop them, we will. This is our school! For our children! Rosa's first steps into her new school playground are fraught with more than just first-day nerves. It is South Africa in 1994, and the doors of Oranje School are open to black children for the first time. But not everyone is happy about the new law on integration...least of all the father of her childhood friend, Hennie. Can Rosa brave the taunts of her fellow students and succeed? And will her friendship with Hennie survive? Age 9+
