Benny and Omar
Benny Shaw is a scrappy 12-year-old whose whole world changes when his father is transferred to a job in Africa. No one in their new Tunisian home has heard of hurling and no one appreciates Benny's cheeky sarcasm--until Omar comes along.
Omar is an orphan who lives by his wits and speaks English only in television phrases. He and Benny become fast friends. Omar is also determined to save his younger sister from a mental hospital, and of course Benny is enlisted to help.
Readers who like sports and fast-paced adventures will love both the plot and the challenge of puzzling out Omar's television-talk and the Irish and Tunisian slang.
