0.0

Taxi tells the experiences of Anika, a 13 year old girl, who was born in South Africa, and has since lived in a few interesting places with her family. Her family includes her younger brother, Mom who is a celebrated painter, Dad the engineer and Monet, the little black Schnauzer, and together they have lived in places as far a field as the Deep South of the US, Washington DC, Holland and now China.
Taxi tells the story of Anika's life, as seen through her eyes. Sometimes bitter sweet, sometimes very sad, as she struggles with growing up while frequently moving, even across whole continents. She tells the story of making peace with her surroundings, her experiences, good and bad with school, and ponder the meaning of life. Through her words we get to relive China, and experience this vast continent with its unique customs and food.
Taxi is a most entertaining read that will be enjoyed by young and old alike, and provides a fresh look at happiness and joys of growing up, if not in the most conventional way.
