by Angelo Raza (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.9 out of 5 stars (31)

Sick of being treated like a foreigner in his home country Madagascar, Black Candy decided to migrate to Australia with his family, in the quest of freedom and a fair go. What he found was far beyond his imagination as his journey turned into a thrilling and perilous adventure, where uncertainties and despair combined with hope and miracles. A mysterious friend always came to the rescue.

“Black Candy” is a celebration of faith and friendship, a guide to reinventing yourself through change, and an experience of the unique and vibrant lifestyle of Northern Australia.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"At first, I thought it was a collection of short stories until it dawned on me that it's a collection of significant events that encompassed the struggle of a immigrant. It's a story about ambition, the bravery to push through with it, and the difficulties that Black Candy faced. It is well-written. It was almost diary-like to me. The author was able to set the tone of the story in a way that it was easy for the reader to empathise with him. You can almost hear the calm in his voice. The desperation. The frustration. The resistance to give up. Each chapter served as a catalyst for greater things that are yet to come for all of the characters. The story has its heavy moments, moments when the reader can sigh along with Black Candy, It touched on so many realities in someone's life that it was so easy to put oneself in Black Candy's shoes." ~ Dawn, Dubai.

From the Author

    5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't Put the Book Down...
    Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2020
    Format: Audiobook
    There are times I purchase a book because of the author's recommendation or something about the cover or the title attracts my attention, or there's something in the description that grabs my interest and I feel compelled to read the book. Sometimes I'm disappointed after reading the book and other times, like now, I'm so thankful I read it! I couldn't put Raza's book down! I found myself caught up in the story and I was very happy to learn it's the first book in a new series by this author. If you are looking for a great read, if you are intrigued by all the emotions and ramifications of human nature and if you wonder what it's like to uproot your family and move to another country, in this instance the beautiful and rugged country of Australia, then this is a MUST read for you!

    Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2019
    Format: Paperback
    What a lovely and inspirational true story! Black Candy takes us with him on his journey to create a new life in a new country and culture. Despite the difficulties one would expect in such an adventure, the author also had to deal with racial prejudice and dangerous situations. But he courageously persisted, never giving up hope or giving up on his dream of a better life. Black Candy's writing style is very engaging, and I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

    Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2020
    As a young black male, Angelo's words really resonated with me. I too have had to constantly reinvent myself to navigate through various roadblocks in my life. Right, wrong, or indifferent, we all deal with our own prejudices, but a positive mindset is a key to winning in life. Angelo inspires us to stay the course and persevere across the finish line!

    A must read, I couldn't put it down. I was given it as a gift. I must say I was very grateful. I love to read but I do have a hard time finding books that grab me and hold my attention. This one does just that. I highly recommend it as a stocking stuffer or for someone that is an avid reader. They won't be diappointed.

    Reviewed in Australia on October 17, 2020
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This book shows what determination is all about. Overcoming many obstacles to travel from Madagascar to Australia, the family find themselves in a multicultural country of acceptance while still holding onto the patterns of non-acceptance they were so used to. I kept turning pages as I questioned, 'Do they manage to overcome to truly fit into the Australian way of life that many can only dream of?" An eye opening read!
