Jess Mowry is truly a gifted writer. This story reflects the lives of young children who live a life which while so close to our own is yet so far apart.Corbitt is one such "child" who as people keep telling him has all seven on what it is to be a "true african", and yet Corbitt only begins to realise what it is to be "black" when he arrives in Oakland. Corbitt is a holder of magic and power, his time in Oakland is a mission but he doesn't know it. Mowry's style of writing takes you deep into the heart of this world, and again he surprises you as the story prompts you to discover the true nature of the real story which lies between the lines and overlaps so imaginatively and yet so subtley, that the result is truly magical.
