Benny and Omar - Eoin Colfer

Genre: Children's Fiction

Benny Shaw loves Hurling and he likes Ireland.  And then his dad gets a job...  In Tunisia...  Which just so happens to be in Africa.  It's not Ireland and there is no Hurling.  He does not want to be here, but despite this fact, he finds himself making friends and becoming a troublemaker along with a local boy.

This is a heart warming story about two boys who, despite a language barrier, become friends and brothers.  We follow their adventures and antics and we see how these two make every moment count.

If this book teaches you only one thing it would be that spoken language is not important, but rather the language from the heart that counts.

This is a must read for Colfer fans!
