This was quite an inspirational story that was written for younger readers (middle school) but adult readers would enjoy it, as well. I read Mawi's story very quickly and am very impressed with how he and his family faced their challenges and heartbreaks.

This book is and amazing story about a refugee named Mawi. He lived in Ethiopia and had a good life, but when there was a war his family had to move to Sudan in a refugee camp. His father never went to a medical school, but he knew how to do most of the things a doctor knows how to do. He had his own clinic in Ethiopia, but they had to flee to Sudan to survive. His life had changed so much when he moved to Sudan. They lived in that refugee camp for a while, but then they flew over to

This is such an inspiring quick read that everyone should complete to learn lessons of kindness, perseverance, determination and acceptance.

My father's review: 3/5/07By birth Mawi was an Eritrean/Ethiopian, one parent of each, living in Ethiopia. His father, Haileab, was a self trained doctor in Ethiopia,licensed as an "Advanced Dresser". In the area where they lived, Haileab was the only source of even quasi medical care; so, when it was needed,he did his best to deliver it, and was pretty good at it.

Mawi's story was very inspiring and it was good to learn about his experiences as a refugee. It was not really my favorite and at some parts didn't interest me but I enjoyed the book.

Awesome book. A bit boring at times, but extremely detailed. I am surprised that Asgedom remembered this much! I read this book for summer reading, but I would recommend it to anyone. It's pretty short, it only takes a few days, and it's an easy read. It will make you laugh and cry. In September Asgedom will speak at my school... I'm so excited! Such a touching and inspiring story.

This is a great book for the age that it is written for. I think I would put this at lower high school or middle school level. The author does a great job of not making the content too heavy and adds stories from his childhoold which make the book an appealing read to younger readers yet it still gets his point across. I really enjoyed the focus on family in this book and the help they offered to other refugees when they arrived in America. I think we could all do a little more for our fellow
