Hidden away from a harsh and chaotic outside world, five young people have cobbled together a home for themselves in an abandoned airplane, a relic of their country's tumult. At seventeen, Elimane, the bookworm, is as street-smart as he is wise: the group's father figure. Clever Khoudimata is mother by default, helping scheme how to keep the younger boys-- athletic, pragmatic Ndevui and thoughtful Kpindi--and especially little Namsa, their newest and youngest member- safe and fed. When Elimane makes himself of service to the shadowy William Handkerchief, it seems as if the small group may be able to keep the world at bay and their ad hoc family intact. But when Khoudi comes under the spell of the 'Beautiful People'--the fortunate sons and daughters of the powerful and corrupt--the desire to resume an interrupted coming of age and forge her own destiny proves impossible to resist. A profound and tender portrayal of the connections we forge to survive the fate we're dealt, Little Family marks the further blossoming of a unique global voice."--|cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Young adults|zAfrica|vFiction. 650 0 Interpersonal relations|vFiction. 650 0 Homeless persons|vFiction. 651 0 Africa|xSocial conditions|vFiction. 655 7 Bildungsromans.|2lcgft 655 7 Bildungsromans.|2gsafd 655 7 Social problem fiction.|2lcgft 938 YBP Library Services|bYANK|n16409673 938 Brodart|bBROD|n125491514 994 C0|bORL
