Home of the Brave by Katherine Applegate

I really enjoyed the main character, Kek, in this story. He is sweet and sensitive despite having seen and experienced a lot of bad things. Kek is a refugee from Sudan. In the refugee camps in Sudan he lost his whole family. He suspects that his mother may have survived, but he had to leave her behind when she got injured in a military attack. Despite having lost his family, and having to travel to America alone, Kek still maintains his optimism about life. This is a beautiful story about a beautiful boy.
