The Boy Called Troublemaker, Based on the Childhood of Nelson Mandela
~Written by Ellie Crowe

The Boy Called Troublemaker by Ellie Crowe is a compelling story about the childhood of  the courageous man the world came to know as Nelson Mandela.
Picture
Rolihlahla was his given name, it means "Troublemaker," but to most people he was simply known as Buti. At the age of 5, Buti and his family were forced to leave their home and all of their possessions. They moved to another village to live with family. It was in this village that Buti was given the incredible opportunity to attend school. In school Buti was given the English name, Nelson. Although he didn't think he needed to have three names, he accepted it as part of his education. He was anxious to learn to read and just before his father passed he said to Buti, "education and books will help you get on in the world. I worry that life will not be easy for you. I want you to always stand firm for what you believe is fair and right." Buti would always remember his promise. Eventually, he was sent to the Great Place to live with a Chief who was a good friend of his father's. In the Great Place Buti  learned about forgiveness and to look for the good in people. It is in the Great Place that Buti became a man.

The Boy Called Troublemaker is an exceptional story. Written in a simplistic nature, the story is perfect in helping young readers discover the  aspects of Buti's childhood which shaped him into the amazing man who gave up his own freedom in an effort to secure it for others.

I highly recommend picking up a copy of The Boy Called Troublemaker, which is available at www.amazon.com.
