    I would have to say that I enjoyed this novel as much as The Infidel. It is the story of Achak Deng, one of the lost boys, who was forced to leave his village in Sudan at the age of seven, treking hundreds of miles on foot through many life threatening situations to find freedom. I highly reccomend this novel! Also check out his website www.valentinoachakdeng.org. He is an amazing human being who has struggled through adversity, survived many hardships, and has devoted his life to the humanitarian efforts of Sudan.
