Say You're One of Them by Uwem Akpan

4.0

This is a book of short stories. Actually there are three short stories and two longer short stories. Each story is told from the point of view of a child living in Africa. The stories are about poverty, abuse, religious turmoil, child trafficking, tribal conflict and survival by any means possible. They are told in a flat, almost unemotional voice which did not by any means take away the emotion of the stories.
