This is not necessarily prize winning writing but it's a good look into life in Sudan and is meant for kids.

Brief, straightforward, and powerful memoir of a young South Sudanese boy, as he flees the war and ends up in various refugee camps in Ethiopia and Kenya. I appreciated very much how narrowly focused the storytelling was during his escape: it really is day by day. I finished this book in tears.

An amazing, educational and engaging read. Definitely recommended.

The story of the lost boys is a very hard read for children. The story is told beautifully and has a lovely conclusion.
