Go Home Danger

This book is the first in a series of 'Kenroy stories.' In Go Home Danger, Kenroy befriends Emanuel, a new boy at his village school in rural Belize. In reaching out to the Kekchi youth, Kenroy displays impartiality and fellow-feeling. The recent tragic death of a classmate from HIV/AIDS related causes and the classes' stigmatizing of her during her illness prompts a visit by the village nurse, who is also Kenroy's grandmother and guardian. She endeavours help them to work through the events that have transpired and find in them important life lessons.
