Global Read Challenge 63: Central African Republic

I'm not rating this because it is a children's book, so I don't feel equipped to rate it. It seems to be the only book from CAR available in English. The main character does travel all over the country so I got a good sense of the geography which was great. Daba has no setbacks in his path which is strange for both life and a book, but I'm glad I found it and had the opportunity to read it.
