by Andrea Davis Pinkney

A 12 - year - old Sudanese girl forced her family to seek security with an overcrowded refugee camp after being attacked by Kinshawi in her town

Amira Bright had a dream: went out of her South Darfur farm and went to Gad elementary school, the girl was accepted. Her mother Mumma is a traditionalist about the role of girls, her father Dando and his lifetime neighbor An Anhua backing her. Dando and Amira have even a favorite game called "What else is possible?" However, when a militia attacker suddenly reverses his life, Amira will win for a quiet heartache. I was relieved that the rescue team of the Karma refugee camp passed her yellow mat and red pencil and finally restored her free expression. Talking about her with the first person's poem, Pinkney uses a dexterous brush to create attractive characters through the poems they observe and the sharpness of their environment. In countries that are complicated and suffering warfare, this replaced story is convenient and fluent, and it provides the right tone for intermediate readers. The basic picture of Evans illustrates the spirit and desire of a real hero Amira

A story full of souls catches the magic of possibility even in difficult times. (Author note, illustrator note, vocabulary) (Fiction 8-12)
