[Abisoye Falabi · Rating 5 out of 5]

The book Barrow Boy narrates a descriptive and captivating story of a young boy who later became a man. Despite the unfavourable conditions he found himself in he was able to make the Life he wanted.
Desire, Discipline, Determination and Dance were the Lessons he learnt from an unconventional school as the principles he needed to inbind within, so as to live the better life he had always wanted.
No better combination of words can be used to express or better deliver the lessons the way it was done in this book. This should be the next book you should read.
