Synopsis
The unforgettable story of a child soldier. When fourteen-year-old Jacob is brutally abducted and forced to become a child soldier, he struggles to hold on to his sanity and the will to escape. Daniel Lafrance’s striking artwork and the poignant, powerful text capture the very essence of life as a child soldier. Readers will never forget the experiences of this young boy struggling to survive, unsure who to trust, afraid of succumbing to madness, and above all, desperate to get to freedom. In the end, Jacob engineers a daring escape. This graphic novel is based on the acclaimed novel of the same title, winner of a 2009 Arthur Ellis award. The author spent time in Uganda and based this story on real-life accounts of the horrors inflicted on child soldiers and their victims. This is a story of unthinkable violence, but also one of hope, courage, friendship, and family.

Reviews
Gr 8 Up–A graphic version of the 2008 novel in which Jacob describes how he and Ugandan schoolmates were captured by Kony's Lord's Resistance Army, forced to serve as slaves and child soldiers, and finally escaped. The black-bordered illustrations of the boys' captivity, featuring numerous anguished faces, add to this powerful story's emotional force.α(c) Copyright 2013.
