Soldier boy / Keely Hutton ; afterword by Ricky Richard Anywar.

Hutton, Keely, (author.). Anywar, Ricky Richard, (writer of afterword.).

Summary:

In 1989, at the age of fourteen, Ricky Richard Anywar is abducted and forced to fight with Joseph Kony's rebel army in Uganda's decades-long civil war. Ricky is trained, armed and fights government soldiers alongside his brutal kidnappers, but never stops dreaming of escape. Twenty years later, Samuel, representative of the thousands of child soldiers Ricky eventually helped rehabilitate as founder of the international charity Friends of Orphans, tells his story. Working closely with Ricky himself, Keely Hutton's novel is about a boy's unbreakable spirit and indomitable courage.
