Description
Fourteen-year-old Adem, an Albanian boy, lives in Serb-occupied Kosovo. The Albanians are helpless, and even passive resistance can get you killed--as is Adem's sister gunned down while reading a protest poem. Adem's family is singled out for further suffering and violence, and Adem decides to escape this nightmare in order to survive. An ALA Best Book for Young Adults.
