(4) 4-6 Caught in the crossfire of the Sudanese civil war, Stephen and other boys from his burned-out Dinka village become refugees, suffering disease, thirst, fear of lions, hopelessness, and uncertainty. Though the dialogue is didactic and the horrors more told than evoked, Mead has done her homework on this topic and presents the boys' plight well.
