This is a very hard to read book. It deals with lots of violence, child soldiers, life in a war torn country. The disparity between rich and poor, and ultimately being true to yourself, standing up for your beliefs, and the importance of friendship and family. It deals with several young boys abducted from their school by soldiers, who use fear and brutality to force the kids to do their bidding. The themes are mature and there is violence, but it is not overly graphic or gratuitous. Rather, this book shows the reality of life as a child soldier. The book is fictitious, but very very real.

A group of boys in Uganda who are kidnapped from their school and forced to become child soldiers in the LRA (Lord's Resistance Army). As they are forced marched into the wilderness they are told if they want to eat they must kill. No killing no food. Jacob is a rich boy with a famous, wealthy father and he holds tight to the belief that his father will come for them and he will be saved. In my opinion this was a pretty good book, I would recomend people that like war story or action story because in the story there is like non-stop action. I really liked Sharon Mckay style of writing because when i was reading it i was emotional. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Jacob is a 14-year-old Ugandan who is sent away to a boys' school. Once there, he assures his friend Tony that they need not be afraid -- they will be safe. But not long after, in the shadow of the night, the boys are abducted. Marched into the jungle, they are brought to an encampment of the feared rebel soldiers. Told that they must kill or be killed, the boys are thrust into a terrifying struggle to endure and survive. In time, the boys escape. Hunted by the rebels, stalked by a lion, and even pursued by river crocs, they miraculously succeed in reaching safety; however, it is no longer enough. Jacob's adventures force him to confront evil, victimization, and the dark side of human nature, but also teach him about loyalty, friendship, and the true meaning of family.
