" this book is about a boy and he is living with his family when a war starts to come, some of the poeple that were getting attaked that live in the city got on a boat and whent to a safer place. he whent and left his family behind. there he met a guy (i forgot his name) but the boy would always be mean and call him a stupid black man. all i can say is that they got stuck on an island together, i cant tell you how, or why. and the ending is veery shocking. its a veryy good book and i think everyone should read it if they could.
