This book, like the Parvana series, was very good. It was deep and emotional and brought to light one of the most deadly epidemics of our time. The AIDS plot used was very effective to show the good and the bad of the world that we live in today. We tend to get wrapped up in our own little worlds, and neglect to recognise the issues that are hapening not so very far away. 'The Heaven Shop' brings to light some very serious issues in a way so that the reader can relate to the characters and the things that are going on in their life.

In this book you actually feel like you know the main character, Binti. In some of Deborah Ellis's other books the characters are wooden, without faults, without qualities. However Binti was so much like me that I really connected with the things she did.
This story is about Binti, a young girl in Africa. She lives a wonderful life. She is one of the stars of a radio show, she has lots of friends, she loves her father and two siblings, everything is perfect. Untill her father dies of AIDS. Binti's world disintegrates around her. Her part in the radio show is taken away, her cruel relatives grab all of her family's possesions and worst of all, she and her sister Junie are separated from their brother, Kwasi. The relatives they have to live with are hideously mean and make them work for their keep and tell their children not to touch them because there was AIDS in their family. Binti runs away and goes to live with her Grandmother but life is hard there too. She has to look after starving children and cope with hearing a new girl play her part on the radio show.
I like this book because it really expresses the foolish discrimination of people against those with AIDS and the hardships of having your family taken from you. I think Deborah Ellis is a wonderful writer and a wonderful person because she gives all of her royalties to UNICEF. I think everyone should read this book. It will show you how lucky you really are.

This book is really great! It deals with the huge problem in Africa of HIV/AIDS - 40 000 000 people around the world are living with it.. All royalties are donated to unicef. I really reccomend it!
