Book Review: The Power of One
Summary: 5 Stars
THE POWER OF ONE and THE LION THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE-Two totally dissimilar books but each read avidly by middle school kids across the world- It helps if the teacher provides a background of the Boer War, Apartheid and the Blitz but after that-the kids eat up these two. The strength of the two is in the "power of one" but more than that both books have stories and plots and the good guy wins!
Summary of The Power of One: Young Readers' Condensed Edit
In 1939, hatred took root in South Africa, where the seeds of apartheid were newly sown. There a boy called Peekay was born. He spoke the wrong language?English. He was nursed by a woman of the wrong color?black. His childhood was marked by humiliation and abandonment. Yet he vowed to survive?he would become welterweight champion of the world, he would dream heroic dreams.But his dreams were nothing compared to what awaited him. For he embarked on an epic journey, where he would learn the power of words, the power to transform lives, and the mystical power that would sustain him even when it appeared that villainy would rule the world: The Power of One.
