Republic of South Sudan.

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. ( )

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. ( )
  Ellens_ESO | Apr 29, 2012 |
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.
  jreinheimer | Sep 27, 2010 |
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.

Curriculum connections: Alephonsian Deng's essay in Newsweek; Home of the Brave; 14 Cows for America; ( )

When two elephants fight, it is the grass that gets trampled. --African Proverb
The name Lost Boys came to be when our village was attacked by fierce Arab horsemen. We, little boys, spewed out of the blazing village like a colony of ants distrubed in their nest. We ran in different directions not knowing where we are going. We gathered some fruits for our breakfast and lunch. We, little boys, were so messy, all chaos and cries filling the dark, fiercely lightless night.

As gunshots, flames, and screams engulfed their village, three cousins fled into the cover of the forest. Every step led the boys away from their peaceful, agrarian world--a traditional world were spear-toting fathers protected their huts from the lions that roamed by night. With each footstep they were drawn deeper into the horrific violence of Sudan's civil war: a world of bombed-out villages, mine-sown roads, and relentless desert, a world where starving adults would snatch the grain from a weak child's fingers. Across Sudan, between 1987 and 1989, tens of thousands of young boys took flight from these massacres. Their journey led them first to Ethiopia and then, driven back into Sudan, toward Kenya. They walked nearly one thousand miles, sustained only by the sheer will to live. This book is the three boys' account of that unimaginable journey.--From publisher description.… (mer)
