520    "In the final years of South Africa’s Apartheid era, an 
       unlikely trio—a sheltered white rugby player, a black 
       farmworker’s son, and an Indian shopkeeper’s 
       daughter—discover the consequences of knowing the truth 
       and having the courage to speak it.  Halley’s Comet is the
       coming-of-age story of Pete de Lange, a white 16-year-old 
       schoolboy, set in small-town South Africa in 1986. Pete 
       lives a relatively sheltered life, primarily concerned 
       with girls and rugby— until one January night changes 
       everything. Thrust together with two complete 
       strangers—Petrus, a black farmworker’s son and Sarita, an 
       Indian shopkeeper’s daughter—the trio find themselves 
       running for their lives from the vicious Rudie, whose 
       actions will ripple far beyond that fateful night. This 
       era-defying friendship—sparked by a shared secret— 
       challenges everything Pete thought he knew and believed. 
       And when anti-Apartheid revolutionaries set their sights 
       on the town, it will change the course of the three young 
       people’s lives forever. Halley’s Comet is a story of 
       friendship, love, change, taking chances, hope, a comet, 
       and some pretty cool 80s music." --back cover
