Summary: These stories are told from the viewpoints of the children of Africa. Akpan's ability to capture a child's imagination and his skillful portrayal of the situation they endure is nothing short of transcendent. His stories humanize the perils of poverty and violence so piercingly that few readers will feel they've ever encountered Africa so immediately.
