The lost boys of Sudan is the name given to a massive group of boys who walked ~1000 miles after being displaced by the Sudan civil war.

The Lost Boy What would life be like without books? One of my favorite books is The Lost Boy. This novel was published on August 8th‚ 1997.

twelve years‚ where I had gone through school‚ made friends‚ and grown up‚ was not going to be easy.

As difficult as it was to move to rural Northwest Iowa‚ I cannot imagine the difficulty of immigrating to the United States from the war-torn parts of Africa

We were walking through the forest; we had just got out from school. I was taking a look behind me and see Sarah running trying to keep up with my pace. “Slow down‚ I can’t keep up with your pace” she said breathing heavy from running so much. I rolled my eyes at my dramatic friend; she glared when she saw me roll my eyes at her. I turned around and continued walking at a slightly slower pace. “It’s not like anything bad is going to happen” I pointed out. It’s like she thought Big Foot or
