VerkdetaljerThey Poured Fire on Us From the Sky: The Story of Three Lost Boys from Sudan av Alphonsion Deng (2005)
Three Sudanese boys fresh from the Kenya Refugee camp write about their trails and travels. Very poignant and touching, they take you on a journey. One where you would never expect to survive and yet they did. True stories of 3 Sudanese youths (two brothers and a cousin) who traveled hundreds of miles after guerrilla forces destroyed their native village. They tell in numbing detail of starvation, thirst, torture, and persecution. The first-person, non-native English voices bring a freshness and honesty, especially Benson's narratives. The true story of three boys who went from Sudan during the war to a refugee camp and then to America. This story tells of the struggles they went through on their way to safety. This novel can be used as a jumping point into discussions about Africa and war. This novel should only be read by high school students because of the graphic moments. Heartbreaking memoir of two young brothers and their cousin who walk for 5 years to escape civil war in their homeland of Sudan. They land first in Ethiopia and later in a Kenyan refugee camp. Eventually they find their way to San Diego to begin a new, and very different, life. A great read. Compelling. Ages: high school & up; some sections could easily be used in upper middle school.

The interwoven tales of three of Sudan's Lost Boys provide a devastatingly personal look at the Second Sudanese Civil War. One of the audiobook readers was so garbled that I turned to the print edition instead. (
