Critiques en avant-première

Son of a Gun describes the journey of a brother and sister, eight-year-old Lucky and ten-year-old Nopi, who are kidnapped from school and forced to become child soldiers. Lucky and Nopi manage to escape with the help of older children, but are forced to keep fleeing. In the end they are reunited with their parents, but they both know the pieces of their lives will never fit together like they used to. When will the war really be over, and when will they get to be the children they still dream about? Based on the true stories of former child soldiers interviewed by the author in Liberia, Son of a Gun offers a sensitive and compelling look into the relevant and urgent issue of child soldiers. It will provide teachers, parents, and librarians with a tool for raising awareness about this present-day social injustice issue among children.
