Description: During the Sudanese Civil War, more than 20,000 children were displaced and forced out of their homeland. Some of the survivors came to America as refugees. One of them told his story to Dave Eggers who based this novel on this man's experience, showing us how immigration is sometimes more traumatic than the danger immigrants escape from.
