A Breathtakinly raw story that really opens your eyes to life as a boy solider living in Sierra Leone. Ishmael Beah's journey is one that would be hard to imagine, as it seems like a story from a world away.

...survive.......passion... ...numb... ...death.......anger... ...repatriated...

"Our innocence had been replaced by fear and we had become mosters"

"All of us have seen death, or even shaken hands with it..."

"I thought about my family and whether they were alive"

"I have never been so afriad to go anywhere in my life as i was that day"

"In the sky there are always answers and explinations for everything"

Ishmael Beah
