How does Femi change over the course of the novel, The Other Side of Truth?

In the beginning of the novel, Femi is a playful young boy who enjoys football and spending time with his father. However, he becomes withdrawn and fearful of London's unfamiliarity, searching for more comfortable reminders of life in Nigeria. He also pulls away from Sade when she attempts to offer comfort and stability for him.

Throughout the novel, Femi changes from a carefree young boy who enjoys spending time with his sister and joking around into a young boy who turns inward when confronted with the traumatic new reality of his life. However, toward the end of the novel, Femi becomes a more active participant in Sade's plans, supporting his sister in her efforts to reunite the family.
