Continuing where the brilliant Child Witch Kinshasa left off, the second volume of Dudu's story sees him swap the wild streets of his native Congo for the more peaceful of suburban England. Yet despite the change in location, Child Witch London holds just as much drama, and is captivating to the end. What would it feel like to be 'helped' by a richer people? Would the experience of going from a third world to a first world country always be a good one? And what are our true motives for 'helping'Excellent read. Again! I love the way the story twists and turns, making you think first one thing is happening, then you find out it's not, but then again it could be!! Phew!How preconceptions can change a persons view of events is fascinating.I would love to see this and Child Witch Kinshasa as a film. I could really see it being successful.I shall miss reading about Dudu and Frank though.Do you have any plans for a third in series which revisits characters etc in the future?

A very good novel; once you start reading it, you can't take your mindoff the story - I read both volumes in less than two weeks.I 've never been to England or Congo, but this book took meto both places and I learned about the culture of the peoplewho live there. It is a very well-researched story, which shows thebeauty of Congo, the political intrigues, and how some children arepersecuted by those who believe in witchcraft. Anti-hero Frank, ajournalism trainer, cannot remain impassive when he
I read this book soon after reading the Child Witch Kinshasa.

In this book the author very skilfully points a questioning finger back to the horrified classes living within the comfort of our "established" social structures. Mike Ormsby manages to do this without turning it into a "Tarzan in London" story - although there are
