A Girl Named Disaster by Nancy Farmer ISBN: 0140386351 Price: 5.99 View Basket Availability: Usually ships within 24 hours. Publisher/ Date: Puffin Books / 03-1998 Format: Paperback Synopsis: Nhamo's mother is dead, and her father is gone. When she learns that she must marry a cruel man with three wives - before her twelfth birthday - she runs away. Alone on the river, in a stolen boat, Nhamo is swept into the uncharted heart of a great lake. There, she battles drowning, starvation, and wild animals, and comes to know Africa's mystical, luminous spirits. Nhamo's journey will transport readers into her world, in a story that is poignant, humourous, dramatic, and extraordinary. Reviews:
