About this product
Product Information
Just down the road from their families, Deo and his friends play soccer in the dusty fields of Zimbabwe, cheered on by Deo's older brother, Innocent. It is a day like any other... until the soldiers arrive and Deo and Innocent are forced to run for their lives, fleeing the wreckage of their village for the distant promise of safe haven in South Africa. Along the way, they face the prejudice and poverty that greet refugees everywhere, but eventually Deo finds hope, joining dozens of other homeless, displaced teens on the World Cup Street Soccer team--a possible ticket out of extreme hardship to a new life. Captivating and timely, Now Is the Time for Running is a staggering story of survival that follows Deo and his brother on a transformative journey that will stay with readers long after the last page.

Reviews
Williams tells his story simply and unflinchinglywith depictions of tremendous violence, hard-fought soccer matches, andthe loving bond between the brothers. Deo's narration provides an immediacy thatis only compounded by the tale's fast pacing and suspense. The author givesreaders complicated and compelling characters for whom they will cheer, crywith, and love., A gripping page-turning, a tribute to the unifying power of sport, and a heart-stirring window into the life of a teen refugee in South Africa., There is plenty of material to captivate readers: fast-paced soccer matches every bit as tough as the players; the determination of Deo and his fellow refugees to survive unthinkably harsh conditions; and raw depictions of violence... But it's the tender relationship between Deo and Innocent, along with some heartbreaking twists of fate, that will endure in readers' minds., Williams skillfully draws the plight of these refugee brothers with both suspense and sympathy, and readers cannot help but root for them in their quest to rebuild their broken lives... Williams joins Beverly Naidoo and Allan Stratton with this incisive portrait of sub-Saharan Africa, a compelling mix of suspense, sports, and social injustice., Now Is the Time For Running is as rivetingas it is important, as heartbreaking as it is uplifting, and as sobering as itis thrilling. Michael Williams astounds us with the moral dilemmas facingsouthern Africa; he also buoys us with a realistic sense of hope and triumph. Amust read., A thrilling, beautifully told tale of survival, brotherly love, and the redemptive power of sport. Deo is a hero for the real world., We run with [Deo], our hearts in our mouths, to the very end... How lucky we are to get such a read!, Michael Williams has crafted a gripping novel that celebrates the lure of soccer, the power of brotherhood, and the human spirit's ability to overcome incredible odds.
