What is the What: The Autobiography of Valentino Achak Deng
Age Level:
YA As a young boy Valentino witnessed Arab militia men destroy his village, hid from hungry lions, wandered through wasted, desert landscapes, and narrowly escaped fatal disease, capture, starvation, and enlistment. The will to survive displayed here is almost as miraculous as this Sudanese “Lost Boy’s” ability to recount the harrowing genocide of home and people with such thoughtfulness and grace.
