Warchild: A Boy Soldier's Story (2009) By Emmanuel Jal
 
The extraordinary and inspirational story of a young boy soldier in the Sudan People's Liberation Army.
 
Emmanuel Jal was seven years old when he became a soldier and went into battle with the rebel army in Sudan's bloody civil war. Believing he was being sent to school, Emmanuel trekked his way to a refugee camp in Ethiopia, where he became one of the Lost Boys of Sudan.
 
After nearly five years of fighting, Emmanuel was smuggled into Kenya by Emma McCune, a British aid worker, and finally began to have a childhood and an education. When Emma died tragically, Emmanuel struggled to find purpose in life, but eventually, through the power of prayer and music, he succeeded.
 
From child soldier to refugee, to rap star, War Child is one boy's incredible story of survival and triumph.
