A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier by Ishmael Beah

4.0

I read this in preparation for a 7th grade book club unit that compliments our whole class novel, A Long Walk To Water. There were chapters that I had to reread, because I could not believe what I had just read. Stunning and beautiful storytelling. Heartbreaking overall.
