Theresa Jolly Holt wrote in with some new suggestions:Akimbo & the Elephants $4.99 paperback Alexander McCall SmithCoincidentally this morning I was thinking about a great book to share with young adults in Ghana and other English-speaking countries (and even in Burkina, where there are some English readers)... and it is Dreams from My Father, by, guess who? Barack Obama.
