Bobby’s Friends
by Phia van den Berg
The publisher’s most favourite juvenile story
"Lights!" Jessie announced loudly. Suddenly everyone was awake. Karachi appeared beneath them on
the lefthand side. At first they saw only a narrow strip of tiny lights, but soon it broadened. The
plane swung sideways as it turned, gliding above the sea of city lights. The children hadn’t paid
much attention to the other landings during the trip, but this one became very exciting!
Pakistan! Every year a part of Western Pakistan underwent a drastic flood, washing away all the
gardens and homes of the inhabitants. Father Falois, agriculturist, was asked by the government to
try to control the floods. But life in Pakistan was so different for Bobby and his siblings. The
worst part was understanding the people, that breach between the rich Muslims and the poor
Christians. How would Bobby find friends? Would the screaming, proud, millionaire’s son, Sadiq, be
a friend, or would Jahja, the very poorest of all? Who would be faithful when danger came?
