"Praise for" War Brothers," the novel by Sharon E. McKay: "
"War Brothers" is a novel that very accurately portrays the
criminality of adults who abduct kids to carry out crimes against
humanity... This engrossing book is a vivid look at the hideous
crimes committed by such groups and should be read by anyone
wanting to know about Kony's LRA.
-- Lieutenant-General Romeo Dallaire (Retired), international
child soldier advocate
"The life of a child soldier is full of unthinkable violence ...
But the human capacity to connect with others and for survival is
remarkable."
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. They are
told they must kill or be killed, and their world turns 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 wrestles
with the question of whether we are all really beasts inside. He
decides the way through the pain is to record his story.
Daniel Lafrance's powerful, striking, and poignant artwork and
the crisp, evocative text vividly capture the haunting experiences
of a young boy caught in a brutal war.
This graphic novel is based on an award-winning YA novel by
Sharon McKay. Sharon has spent time with child soldiers and based
this story on real-life accounts.
