Notes

Summary: A powerful and moving story about one boy caught up in the Hunan drought in China, set in 2014. Shaozhen might come from a small village in Henan, but he has big dreams. At thirteen, he has no intention of staying a poor farmer in his tiny home village, carved into the base of the mountain range of the 'bread basket' of China. For Shaozhen, his future is in the West - ideally through his first love, basketball. But while Shaozhen might daydream about becoming the next Chinese sporting superstar, there are more than a few concerns in the village that are becoming harder for him to ignore. The floods haven't come this year and the crops are dying. Slowly Shaozhen realises that unless they all work together, there will be no water for anybody. (Publisher)
