(2) YA This satisfying thriller introduces with compassion the complex issues of African civil war and violence. A suburban Connecticut household takes in a family of battle-scarred African refugees not knowing that a cold-blooded killer is hot on their trail. The character roles are largely predetermined (self-centered American teen, bubbly little sister, polite African boy) but well suited to the plot-driven novel.
