The Red Pencil

I had The Red Pencil by Andrea Davis Pinkney on my to-read list for awhile and got it from the library. Amira lives in a village in Sudan that is attacked by the Janjaweed, and she has to escape—making a long journey to a refugee camp.

This was a great read. It was written in verse, which I always love, and told a pretty heart-wrenching story. I read this a couple months ago so can’t remember much else but still wanted to document that I read it.
