I loved the sweet feelings I had toward Kek as I read this novel. Kek is a Sudanese teen refugee who has come to America after his family has been murdered by soldiers. Only he and his mother survived--and she is still missing. Applegate has Kek tell his story through poetic prose. He describes the difficulties he has with adjusting to America, shares his bad dreams and haunting memories, and allows us to see his ingenuity in trying to survive. I just loved this book!
