Leonard runs away from home to the historic slave fort town of Elmina, where he is kidnapped by a gang of street kids and forced to work for them.

THE TROUBLE WITH DONOVAN CROFT, Bernard's first-ever novel, is reissued in August. It has never been out of print since it was first published in 1974.
When Donovan comes to stay with Keith's family, Keith knows it will be hard having a foster brother. But it turns out to be even harder than he expected - because Donovan won't speak. Not to Keith, not to anyone. And for Donovan it's harder still - because he couldn't speak to save his life. It's only a matter of time before things get really dangerous - and only a growing bond between the two boys can prevent a tragedy.
