Jabulani looks cross and says somebody has taken his shoe; the family search does not find it before school. The predicament is resolved later, but the initial frustration is part of the story.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the book’s treatment of its main themes is not yet firm enough.
