Koketso struggles to navigate his way in certain sections of his township community and became an outcast because of his love of books and passion for education. Sputla Siwelele, who is the protagonist, bullies Koketso whenever he sees him, and Koketso's crush, Zodumo, constantly rejects his advances because his nerdy lifestyle doesn't impress her. This brings to light the social impact of peer pressure, where theoretically, it may make sense not to give in, but it becomes less practical when you're punished for trying to lead a productive lifestyle -- Bookseller's review. 651 0 $a Kagiso (Krugersdorp, South Africa) $x Social life and customs $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Peer pressure in adolescence $z South Africa $v Fiction. 655 0 $a South African fiction (English) 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180710032339.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7C5D0B4EEC6A11E7AF65C16E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
