Synopsis: When 16-year-old Lufuno leaves Jozi to start a new life in Cape Town with her family, she is running from her past. She doesn't realise it's about to get even tougher. She is bullied at school for her dark skin and her Venda heritage, and her parents are not happy about her friendship with Mandla, a Xhosa chief's son. When a strike at the factory where her parents work turns violent, it seems as though her whole world is about to explode … "Stop thinking only of yourself, and start thinking about others." The words that tumble out of her pierce me. They are harsh, cruel words. Even worse, perhaps my mother is right. Perhaps I am selfish and unthinking. Perhaps this whole thing with Mandla is one big mistake. Finders Keepers is the approved contemporary novel for Grade 10 First Additional Language English. Read and enjoy it! It has: • An unforgettable story line and characters • New word definitions and a Glossary to help your vocabulary grow • Notes and questions to guide you through the exciting world of literature • Sample exam papers and answers
