I guess this is somewhat running related, in that there are a lot of boys running for their lives. It is about the "Lost Boys" of Sudan, told through the eyes of one boy/man who ended up in the US. Very good book, I learned a lot about things I wouldn't have otherwised learned, but it was very depressing in a lot of ways. Not just the "oh the things that happen in sudan are depressing", but also depressing in the "love lost" way, and just generally not a happy book. But I recommend it!
