(3) 4-6 In this beautifully written, stunningly realistic novel, thirteen-year-old runner Auma dreams of becoming a doctor. But when her father comes home sick, she worries that he might have the mysterious and deadly new disease called AIDS that has been ravaging their small Kenyan village. As her family situation deteriorates rapidly, smart, strong Auma struggles to maintain her dream and keep her siblings from starving.
