From the back of the book:Twelve-year-old Sade's journalist father is a vocal critic of the corrupt military government in Nigeria. When Sade's mother is murdered, her family sees in bloody detail the violent risks that come with exposing the truth. Her father arranges for Sade and her younger brother to be smuggled to their uncle in London for safety. On the streets of London, the plans fall apart and they are abandoned, passed from foster home to foster home. They try to contact their uncle but he is missing. Then they learn that their father has escaped to London to find them - but he will be sent back to Nigeria, unless Sade can find a way to tell the world what happened to her family.
