A Calf Named Brian Higgins - Paperback

by Kristen Ball (Author), Jeffrey D. Sachs (Foreword by)

Thirteen-year-old Hannah Higgins is convinced her summer is ruined when she is forced to travel to Africa and work in a remote village in Kenya with her mom and uncle. Never having been to a developing country, she finds the food gross and the community filthy. Just when she thinks nothing could make this trip any worse, she learns people there are dying of hunger and preventable disease. Hannah becomes frustrated and wants to help, but when poverty threatens the lives of people she loves, all she wants to do is go home.

"...a coming-of-age story that engages readers in Hannah's journeys..."
