When he was practicing throwing spears into bags of sand, he thought “what does it feel like to drive a spear into a person?” and he felt didn’t feel very good. Things like “I wonder what would happen if this was in ancient times…” Tendai also has a big heart. He is always wondering about things outside of the activity he is doing right at the moment. Tendai could become a spirit medium (in African culture they communicate with the spirit world). His martial arts instructor is always telling Tendai to stop dwaaling. Tendai is really spacey, and is always “dwaaling” (which means to daydream in African). Tendai– the oldest child is probably the protagonist, since the book is from his point of view a lot. Once a week a martial arts instructor would come to teach the children about combat and some martial arts skills. Then they did their homework, which was sent to the teachers by the computer. So these children have their lessons instructed by their teachers through the holoscreen (a telephone with a three-dimensional with a three-dimensional viewing screen). If someone were to kidnap or hurt these children, the whole country would be affected. Their father is General Matsika, a great man who stopped most of the gangs in Zimbabwe and is greatly respected by many people. But their parents have a pretty good reason for that. Three children- Tendai, Rita, and Kuda are overprotected by their parents. The point of view switches off between children who sneak off from their home and detectives who are hired to find them.
In this book, there are many main characters. This book takes place in Zimbabwe around the year 2194.
