Reseña del libro "Mountains And Hills to Overcome (en Inglés)"
Paballo Makhetha's book titled "Mountains and Hills to overcome" attempts to address social ills that have infiltrated communities; which, when not properly dealt with often affect and lead capable young people to sanitariums, jails, and even suicidal ends. She believes that the future is in the hands of the youth, who constitute over 40% of the total African population. The future can therefore not be left in the hands of wounded souls, who continue to experience or witness many kinds of abuse and trauma in their immediate environments. There exists a need to create platforms to talk about these challenges in the homes, classrooms and work places; to embrace them as part of our history, learn from them, and recreate a better future. She wishes that the book can be prescribed at middle to high schools to allow the youth to confront prevalent social challenges head-on, and make better decisions about their own future, and the future of their respective countries as prospective builders.

It must therefore be treated in that way, and occupy the space of classic novels ever written. The paraphrasing and the selection of vocabulary used, added not only value to the content, but also set the tone of what kind of book the final product is going to be. The harmonious pace at which the writer took the reader through different events, creates a compelling reason for the reader to gently indulge into the imagination of the characters, places and events in the book. It is therefore in this context that I am acknowledging that maintaining the balance between being a critical pre-viewer and a reader was not an easy task to sustain.The writer used Motshehoa's journey to introduce the reader into various topics in the book. This approach makes the book to be a fountain of topical subjects. The book will therefore have a variety of potential target markets. This is due to the relevance of topics to various groups in society. This is material that needs to be published and consumed by both the young and old, the experienced and unexperienced people, both locally and internationally. The quality of this manuscript positions it in a different league all together.Job well done!Motsumi oa Mphirime
