Touching upon children's plight

LorieS from Lantana, Florida, Sep 23, 2008

This book was selected for my book club to discuss. While the subject matter is quite disturbing, I feel that it is important for us to be aware of the plight of children in war-torn countries such as Sierra Leone. Perhaps more can be done to rescue them or at least mitigate their suffering.
