A gripping story of a child who journeyed through hell and back.
In A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier, Beah, now twenty-six years old, tells a powerfully gripping story: 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 army, and Beah, at heart a gentle boy, found that he was capable of truly terrible acts. At sixteen, he was removed from fighting by UNICEF, and through the help of the staff at his rehabilitation center, he learned how to forgive himself, to regain his humanity, and, finally, to heal.

Lieutenant Andy Pope, Normandy, 1944
Andy Pope is an eighteen-year-old Second Lieutenant in a British infantry battalion. He is younger than many of the men in his platoon – something that makes it particularly hard to be their officer. But through fairness and with the guidance of a seasoned sergeant, he earns his men’s respect by handling his troops well on exercise, and leading them into battle when the chips are down. He’s put to the test when he finds himself in charge of a unit that has to keep Germans from occupying a strategic French town.
