Follows Ricky from 1987-1991, and Samuel in 2006, as they are abducted to serve as child-soldiers in Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army in Uganda. Includes historical notes and information about Friends of Orphans, an organization founded by Ricky Richard Anywar, on whose life the story is partly based.

Realistic and well written, kids will definitely be hooked once the action picks up and doesn't stop. It is very realistically violent, so when I booktalk it I always give kids a heads-up on the violence level. Would be a good pairing with Ishmael Beah's A Long Way Gone.
