Let's Go Swimming on Doomsday by Natalie C. Anderson
4.0
Although it was hard for me to get into at first, as soon as the story progressed, I had a hard time putting it down.
I can't even begin to imagine the horrors these children face when they're forced to live the life of a soldier, including sacrificing their own lives for things they might not always believe in themselves, and being completely cut off from any loved ones that may still remain
The book has a “based off a true story” feeling even though it isn't. Although Abdi is a fictional character, his story is based on things that are all too real, and continue to happen; I appreciate the author for writing this novel and sharing some of the things she's learned with the rest of us.
