In war-torn Sudan, a girl must make heart-rending choices as she
fights for survival and a chance at a future. “This short,
quickly paced narrative will stay with readers for the rest of
their lives.” School Library Journali, STARRED REVIEW “Moving
and necessary.” Kirkus, STARRED REVIEW For Poni, life in her
small village in southern Sudan is simple and complicated at the
same time. Stay in school. Beat up any boy who tries to show
attention. Watch out for the dangers in the river. But then the war
comes. And when soldiers arrive in her village and bombs begin to
rain from the sky, there is only one thing for Poni to do. Run.
Poni runs for her life, and alongside thousands of refugees, she
must then make a long, dusty trek across the east African
countryside. Driven by the sheer will to survive, Poni finds her
way to the Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya, where she hopes to be
reunited with her family. And if she is lucky, she will one day be
able to convince the authorities that she is worthy to go to the
land of opportunity. But the misery in Kakuma is almost
overwhelming, and sooner than Poni could have imagined, she is on
the run again. With single-minded determination, Poni survives hell
and back, but she cannot escape the war’s devastating
psychological effects or her survivor’s guilt. In a heartbreaking
final twist, Poni finds her mother just as she is about to leave
for America—forcing her to make the hardest decision of all. Key
