Someone else has to choose a book - if anyone's read this one.

This also looks briliant

Say you're One Of Them - Awem Akpan

Each story in this jubilantly acclaimed
collection pays testament to the wisdom and resilience of children,
even in the face of the most agonizing circumstances.

A family living in a makeshift shanty in urban Kenya scurries to find
gifts of any kind for the impending Christmas holiday. A Rwandan girl
relates her family’s struggles to maintain a facade of normalcy amid
unspeakable acts. A young brother and sister cope with their uncle’s
attempt to sell them into slavery. Aboard a bus filled with refugees—a
microcosm of today’s Africa—a Muslim boy summons his faith to bear a
treacherous ride across Nigeria. Through the eyes of childhood friends
the emotional toll of religious conflict in Ethiopia becomes viscerally
clear.

Uwem Akpan's debut signals the arrival of a breathtakingly talented
writer who gives a matter-of-fact reality to the most extreme
circumstances in stories that are nothing short of transcendent.
