520    "A powerful novel about five young people, struggling to 
       replace the homes they have lost with the one they have 
       created together, from the internationally bestselling 
       author of A Long Way Gone. 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.
