The Other Princess by Denny Bryce
Of her whole family, Aina, and her brother are the only ones left alive. With all the chaos and bloodshed she loses her brother. Her one hope is to find Dayo again. While running and hiding from those who would take her captive or kill her she makes a new friend from another tribe. Unfortunately, their friendship melts away like everything else.It is exciting to learn about an African Princess. Aina is only six years old. The marks on her face prove she is royal.
Before she leaves Africa, her name is changed from Aina to Sarah. Sarah means princess. However, that is not enough. Nothing can stop her from missing her homeland, Africa. New clothing or anything else can not stop her from missing Dayo too. Her whole life is changed. She has no way of knowing how the new people and place will affect her memories. Denny Bryce writes in a way that makes you feel like this is not fiction but the truth. My excitement over the book grew. I wanted to know just how Sarah would react to England and its people.
