Never Fall Down by Patricia McCormick

5.0

An amazing, shocking, gritty, triumphant story based on a true account of a Cambodian teenager's life during the rule of the Khmer Rouge and the atrocities that occurred in Cambodia's Killing Fields.

Similar to Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys, I had no idea of the extent of the genocide at this period in history. McCormick writes in Arn Chorn-Pond's broken English to make the story that much more realistic.

Everyone should read this book.
