A fast, page-turning read. A great book for high school students and an important novel for young adults who enjoy learning about other world cultures., "There have been several books about the lost boys of Sudan for adults, teens, and even for elementary-school readers. But [this] spare, immediate account, based on a true story, adds a stirring contemporary dimension. . . . Young readers will be stunned by the triumphant climax."Booklist, starred review "[This] spare, hard-hitting novel delivers a memorable portrait of two children in Sudan. . . . Tragic and harrowing."Publishers Weekly, starred review "Two narratives intersect in a quiet conclusion that is filled with hope."School Library Journal, starred review "Park simply yet convincingly depicts the chaos of war and an unforgiving landscape. . . .
