Soldier Boy

Picked up this audio book at the library because the title reminded me of the brave soldier boy comes marching home song that Ihro sang in avatar. Little did i know i was in for a heartfelt tale about a real man and his impact on a country I knew almost nothing about before the book. Fantastic read so glad I picked this book up on a whim.

Realistic and well written, kids will definitely be hooked once the action picks up and doesn't stop. It is very realistically violent, so when I booktalk it I always give kids a heads-up on the violence level. Would be a good pairing with Ishmael Beah's A Long Way Gone.
