Will the truth harm them -- or save them? When Nigeria's corrupt military government kills their mother, twelve-year-old Sade and her brother Femi think their lives are over. Out of fear for their safety, their father, an outspoken journalist, decides to smuggle the children out of Nigeria and into London, where their uncle lives. But when they get to the cold and massive city, they find themselves lost and alone, with no one to trust and no idea when -- or if -- they will ever see their father again. "The Other Side of Truth" is a gripping adventure story about courage, family, and the power of truth.

The Other Side of Truth, one of the best books ever made is by Beverly Naidoo, an outstanding author. She has won many awards for her books including the Carnegie Award, Silver Smarties Award, IRA Teacher's Choice Award, and the ALA Best Book for Young Children. This book has a suspenseful plot and exiting characters. In the book, there are some mournful events that happen, let me tell you their story. Two kids, Sade and Femi live in Nigeria with their mom and dad. Their dad, a journalist, writes an article that gets him in trouble and ends up killing their mom. Sade and Femi fly to London illegally in hopes for a new, safe life with their dad who will soon be with them in London. They get sent to London with an unknown lady who later in the book ditches them at the airport before they can find their uncle in which they were going to stay with. Sade and Femi find their uncle's work, when someone tells them the police are looking for him. They are stranded with nothing but what they can carry until the police find them. They get put into a refugee program where they live with a stranger until their dad comes to London. They start getting letters from their dad when later on they figure out he's sick. There is a pleasing ending that I'm sure will satisfy you. The Other Side of Truth has great character development. Sade, one of the main characters, is a creative girl that has an imaginative mind. She makes up names for people she knows by their personality. In the book two of the names she makes up are Miss Policebusinness and Hawk Lady. I'm sure you'll get a laugh out of the names she thinks of. Another character that was well developed was Femi. Femi, also one of the main characters, is a stubborn child that won't take any orders from anyone except his dad.
