It’s a book written on the first hand experience of a child soldier in Sierra Leone. The writer was a normal kid with separated parents but he loved them equal. He use to stay with his father. He had many friends and he use to love hip-hop music. Somehow the ongoing civil war engulfed their village and he got separated from his father. He is stranded in Jungle with some friends. The story progresses with his struggle of not being caught by the rebellion front i.e. the RUF. After spending some time he couldn’t delay his plight and is captured by the Army of Sierra Leone Between all this he is thru with hard times as his family get killed in front of his eyes. He is brain washed by the Army to fight against RUF. He had a stint in Army and has been through many ambushes. After a considerable time and rescued by the UNO and is sent to rehabilitation camp in the capital (Freetown). It was not easy for the child soldiers to recover from the trauma they had experienced and many of them got berserk at times. Luckily the writer had relatives in that city and they contacted the UN and tell that they are ready to adopt the boy after his treatment. Finally he comes to meet his relatives and start living with them. He get selected to represent the country for the UN youth assembly in New York. He made a good friend there who ultimately ends up being his mother later. He comes back only to find the country again in a jeopardized condition. There was no political stability. He decides to leave the country and somehow manage to frisk into the neighboring country.

Later he continues his studies and ultimately ends up in UN.
