"They Poured Fire On Us From The Sky"


I recently read a book called "They Poured Fire On Us From The Sky". It was written by three boys that lived in Sudan during the civil war that occurred between the Muslim governing nation and the opposing rebels. They were forced from their homes at early ages, somewhere around five years old, and the book tells the story of their trek across Sudan that lasted for many years as they tried to find some place where they could even hope to be safe. It's a really good book and I'd suggest that everyone read it, you'll gain further appreciation for America, and maybe know a little bit more about some of the things going on in the world.

Hey, I love that book! I read it a couple of years ago. How did you hear about it?

I just found it at the library, I was looking for some books on African History and I picked it up. I didn't know you'd read it, like I said it's good!
