The Red Pencil"Amira, look at me," Muma insists. She collects both my hands in hers."The Janjaweed attack without warning. If ever they come run." Finally, Amira is twelve. Old enough to wear a toob, old enough for new responsibilities. And maybe old enough to go to school in Nyala Amira's one true dream.

"Amira, look at me," Muma insists.She collects both my hands in hers."The Janjaweed attack without warning.If ever they come-- run."Finally, Amira is twelve. Old enough to wear a toob, old enough for new responsibilities. And maybe old enough to go to school in Nyala-- Amira's one true dream.
But life in her peaceful Sudanese village is shattered when the Janjaweed arrive. The terrifying attackers ravage the town and unleash unspeakable horrors. After she loses nearly everything, Amira needs to dig deep within herself to find the strength to make the long journey-- on foot-- to safety at a refugee camp. Her days are tough at the camp, until the gift of a simple red pencil opens her mind-- and all kinds of possibilities.
New York Times bestselling and Coretta Scott King Award-winning author Andrea Davis Pinkney's powerful verse and Coretta Scott King Award-winning artist Shane W. Evans's breathtaking illustrations combine to tell an inspiring tale of one girl's triumph against all odds.

nice LITTLE tables
Color: Black, Item Package Quantity: 2, Color: Black, Item Package Quantity: 2
these tables are .....
easy to assemble
sturdy
nice to look at
HOWEVER missing 2 stars for...
they are small and plugging in items such as my laptop cord made it bulky and always in my way.
if there was a middle shelf that would help with the small tops
if the outlet bar was on the side or under the top that would help with the bulky cord issue
