An ALA Best Book for Young Adults conveys the realities of the war in the Balkans as fourteen-year-old Adem, an Albanian who lives in Serb-occupied Kosovo, tries to escape his war-torn village before he is assassinated like his sister. Reprint. AB. PW. SLJ.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Fourteen-year old Adem, an Albanian boy, lives in Serb-occupied Kosovo. Adem hates existing in a constant state of terror. Every week, friends and family are beaten, teargassed, and killed. The Albanians are helpless, and even passive resistance can get you killed--as is Adem's sister Fatmira, gunned down while reading a protest poem. Now Adem must decide how to survive this never-ending nightmare--with or without his family.
Mead's novel includes a brief history of the events leading to the Kosovo Conflict, a map of the region surrounding Kosovo, and a pronunciation guide.
