A bright girl in a remote northern-Nigerian village dreams of winning a scholarship to boarding school. In very brief chapters, she relates spending time with her best friend, talking to her crush, and winning the scholarship. But then the radical Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram comes to her village, killing the men and kidnapping the girls; the rest of the book describes in clear, immediate prose the girl's horrific experiences.
