Review
Escape from Sudan was a great book to read right before the United States' Independence Day (July 4th). Escape from Sudan reminded me of one of the amazing aspects of the United States: Freedom. During a war in Uganda, Elijah seeks to find refuge in the United States with a host family. He seeks the freedom that many Americans, including myself, often take advantage of.
Escape from Sudan was full of action! I believe that it would be a great topic starter for many middle school children about real world issues including slavery and war. I felt that the book was written very appropriately for the target age group.
I would recommend this book to readers of all ages that are looking for a fiction book with real world issues.
