    2006 GOLDEN OAK BOOK CLUB™ SELECTIONS Th e Heaven Shop by Deborah Ellis BOOK SUMMARY: At her father’s funeral, Binti’s grandmother utters the words that no one in Malawi wants to hear.

Binti, was once a child star of a popular radio program. Now she is scraping to survive. Binti Phiri is not about to give up. Even as she clings to hope that her former life will be restored, she must face a greater challenge. If she and her brother and sister are to be reunited, Binti will have to look outside herself and fi nd a new way to be special. Th e Heaven Shop is a contemporary novel that puts a very real face on the African AIDS pandemic, which to-date has or- phaned more than 11 million African children.
