Keeping Secrets

(This edition for South Africa uses British spelling and punctuation and has larger print and wider margins for easy readability.) Fifteen-year-old Sindiswe Khumalo is the most promising figure skater the South African Skating Federation has ever had. But at the rink Sindi can't talk about what's making her father ill. Even her best friends can't be trusted. The young man who drives the zamboni lost his job when people found out he had HIV. A girl in her class dropped out of school when the bullies accused her of being infected. Sindi has dreams-Olympic-size dreams. The truth could cost her everything, but keeping the secret might cost her more.
