I really enjoyed this book I read it I. English class last year and it was really good

This book is not really a good crossover to the adult fiction world. It's written in fairly basic language. That's not to discount the serious themes; the book is simply, well, simple.

Story of the lost boys of Sudan interwoven with the story of a girl collecting water. Explains the situation in a way that is accessible to younger readers

I don't think my review's going to be particularity fair, because this is a class read and having someone force me to read a book is such a turn-off. This book wasn't bad at all, but it's not something that I'm going to remember in a year, and I have a great memory when it comes to books.

update: lol i was lying my memory sucks but i dont in fact remember a single thing abt this book

This was a short read but it's full of hope and determination! It's very inspiring and powerful! Highly recommended!

I expected more out of this book. Many have talked about this book, raved about the book, yet I did not see what they saw.
That does not mean that this is a bad book. However, the book simply lacked any sense of depth, which unfortunately, many biographies, even fictionalized ones, tend to struggle with.
I think this is a good easy read but not one that I would rave about.
