{"product_id":"the-red-pencil-1","title":"The Red Pencil","description":"\"Amira, look at me,\" Muma insists.\n\nShe collects both my hands in hers.\n\n\"The Janjaweed attack without warning.\n\nIf ever they come-- run.\"\n\nFinally, Amira is twelve. Old enough to wear a toob, old enough for new responsibilities. And maybe old enough to go to school in Nyala-- Amira's one true dream.\n\nBut life in her peaceful Sudanese village is shattered when the Janjaweed arrive. The terrifying attackers ravage the town and unleash unspeakable horrors. After she loses nearly everything, Amira needs to dig deep within herself to find the strength to make the long journey-- on foot-- to safety at a refugee camp. Her days are tough at the camp, until the gift of a simple red pencil opens her mind-- and all kinds of possibilities.\n\nNew York Times bestselling and Coretta Scott King Award-winning author Andrea Davis Pinkney's powerful verse and Coretta Scott King Award-winning artist Shane W. Evans's breathtaking illustrations combine to tell an inspiring tale of one girl's triumph against all odds.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0316247804\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.0316247804.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Pinkney, Andrea Davis\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in good condition with very minimal damage.
