This was the hardest book for me to get through, but I'm really glad that I read it. I really had no idea that such terrible stuff goes on in the world. It was difficult to read it, especially being a mom, and imagining the stuff the people in Sierra Leone went through during the war. I know stuff like this is still happening, and it makes me so sad. I find myself thinking about this book almost every hour of the day. I am more aware of how blessed I am to live in this country, and to have the freedoms I do.

I would definitely recommend this book, but just know that it is difficult to read. It was a great educating book about what goes on in the world.
