Il tredicenne Ben Tracey non vede l'ora di trascorrere l'estate nella Repubblica Democratica del Congo, dove suo padre è stato assunto per esaminare il prezioso minerale Coltan che viene estratto lì. Si rendono presto conto che le persone che vivono nel villaggio vicino alla miniera sono spaventate e non ci vuole molto perché Ben e suo padre scoprano il perché: dietro la porta di ogni capanna c'è almeno una persona che sta morendo o è gravemente malata e nessuno sembra fare nulla per aiutarla. Mentre il padre di Ben si ammala, tocca a Ben e alla sua nuova amica del villaggio, Halima, cercare di dire al governo cosa sta succedendo in modo che il villaggio possa essere isolato prima che la malattia si diffonda ulteriormente. Riusciranno a prevenire il disastro?

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Thirteen-year-old Ben Tracey is looking forward to spending the summer in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where his father has been hired to examine the valuable mineral Coltan that's being mined there. They soon realise that the people living in the village near the mine are frightened and it doesn't take long for Ben and his father to discover why: behind the door of every hut there is at least one person dying or seriously ill, and no one seems to be doing anything to help. As Ben's father falls ill, it's up to Ben and his new friend from the village, Halima, to try and tell the government what's going on so the village can be isolated before the sickness spreads further. Will they be able to prevent disaster? The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
