War Child: A Child Soldier's Story by Megan Lloyd Davies, Emmanuel Jal
3.0
Jok Jal's story is very graphic. The book opens with an explanation of his anger and rage that help him become a child soldier in Sudan. He does not mention the use of drugs to turn him into a killer yet the experiences he has helped me understand how he could kill.
Jal does go through a religious experience although in the end he says he doesn't preach religion because it is something each person must find. He is a rap singer though whose songs tell the story of his life as a soldier, in a country at war, and in a refugee camp.
I recommend this book to any of the high school students. It takes us into a world we know nothing about.
