Summary:
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.
