Echoes of the Lost Boys of Sudan

In this powerful graphic novel, four child refugees from Sudan’s civil wars recount their unforgettable story of survival and escape.

We were young boys when war broke out in our country. We had been living peacefully with our families in different villages. Then the armies from the north attacked, and we ran for our lives. We escaped with hundreds of other young boys, running from the dangers we had just seen into dangers we had never witnessed before. We kept each other alive as we fled to freedom. This book is the record of our escape.

Based on extensive interviews with four Lost Boys—Angelo Akol, Santino Athian, Matthew Mabek, and Michael Ngor—this graphic novel is a stunning account of survival in the face of genocide.
