A Long Way Gone: memoirs of a boy soldier by Ishmael Beah
This book is amazing, it's about a12 year old boy named Ishmael Beah who was forced to flea his home because of attacking rebels in Sierra Leone. By age 13 he was picked up by the government army & forced to commit terrible and cruel acts.He was one of the many children soldiers who were hoppes up on drugs & wielding AK-47s .He was now being forced to do to other people the same thing that caused him to flea his home. At 16 he was released from the army to the UNICEF rehabilitation center. It was hard for Beah to cope with the momories of the war and the terrible crimes that he was forced to commit, and also to regain a normal mentallity.
I don't want to give away too much, but it's a really good book that you all should read. I have it if anyone would like to borrow it!
