Diego's Pride

After the cruelty of the coca pits, the Ricardo’s farm seems like a blissful haven to Diego. He works hard with the family to harvest their coca crop and earn money to go home.

Driven to desperate protest by the loss of their livelihood, the local farmers organise road blockades that shut down all of Bolivia. Quick and clever, Diego soon finds himself in the heat of the action. But he faces a terrible choice: should he stay and help the cocaleros in their fight for justice, or grab the chance to head home? And what will happen when government soldiers and blockaders confront each other head-on?A thrilling sequel to Diego, Run!this is another brave, revealing novel from the author of the best-selling Parvana books.
