Book excerpt: Hanging onto the tree, Lawrence looked down in awe. Who would have believed that the quiet little Umhlatuzana could change from a small stream to this? When thirteen-year-old Lawrence is caught up in the tumult of the flood that struck Natal after freak torrential rains on Saturday 26 September 1987, his life is turned upside down. Everything that he has taken for granted changes overnight and he finds himself alone, trying to understand the forces that have swept him along. Sheer tenacity and the need to soar again like a kite, help him contend with the complexities of fending for himself, of understanding his radically altered younger brother and the almost recognisable mother who is lying in the hospital. Here we have the innermost thoughts of a boy caught up in a tangle of events, an experience showing someone struggling towards his own identity in a chaotic world. Gold Sanlam Prize for Youth Literature, 1990.
