Solider Boy, written by Keely Hutton, was a difficult but interesting book. Based on the true accounts of Ricky, a child soldier in the Ugandan civil war in the early 1990's Ricky tells the story of what he endured under the command of a violent and cruel leader of an army of rebels. Armed with a weapon and expected to carry out atrocities no child should have to endure, Ricky eventually finds hope as an adult when he becomes the founder of the charity Friends of Orphans who works to rehabilitate children soldiers much like himself.
