About the Book:
ISBN: 9780374531263
In the #1 New York Times bestseller, A Long Way Gone, Ishmael Beah tells a riveting story: how at the age of twelve, he fled attacking rebels and wandered a land rendered unrecognizable by violence. By thirteen, he'd been picked up by the government army, and Beah, at heart a gentle boy, found that he was capable of truly terrible acts.

Why Bonnie Chose This Book:
At the age of 12, Ishmael was taken from his family in Sierra Leone and forced to become a soldier. This is his story of enduring years of horrifying experiences and gracefully, amazingly surviving them. There are so many reasons why war is wrong and this is one that shouts the loudest.
