Summary

The unforgettable story of a child soldier, based on true events. Jacob and his friends are sharing stories about their school break, when suddenly the door of their dorm is violently kicked in. The attack only takes moments. Blinded by fear and confusion, the boys are abducted by rebel soldiers--members of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). Beaten, starved, and forced to become child soldiers, the boys begin a long march through the African bush. They wait for rescue. Where is the great army with its helicoptors? Have their families forgotten them? With barely any hope left, they must make a desperate decision that will end in life or death. With its haunting images and powerful text, this graphic novel tells a story of spirit, friendship, and courage. For Jacob and his friends, survival depends on one thing: loyalty. --p.[4] of cover
