Children have become soldiers of choice. In the more than fifty conflicts going on worldwide, it is estimated that there are some 300,000 child soldiers. Child soldiers have been profiled by journalists, and novelists have struggled to imagine their lives. But until now, there has not been a first-person account from someone who came through this hell and survived. Ishmael Beah, now 25 years old, tells how at the age of twelve, he fled attacking rebels and wandered a land rendered unrecognizable by violence. By thirteen, he'd been picked up by the government army, and Beah, at heart a gentle boy, found that he was capable of truly terrible acts.--From publisher description. 586 $a Alex Award, 2008 526 0 $a Accelerated Reader AR $b UG $c 6.1 $d 13.0 $z 112792. 526 0 $a Reading Counts RC $b High School $c 8.1 $d 20 $z Guided reading level: NR. $z Guided reading level: NR. 526 0 $a Accelerated Reader $b Grades 9-12 $c 6.1 $d 13 $x SD $z English non-fiction. $z English non-fiction. 600 10 $a Beah, Ishmael, $d 1980- 651 0 $a Sierra Leone $x History $y Civil War, 1991-2002 $v Personal narratives. 651 0 $a Sierra Leone $x Participation, Juvenile. $y Civil War, 1991-2002 $x Participation, Juvenile. 650 0 $a Child soldiers $z Sierra Leone $v Biography. 651 0 $a Sierra Leone $x Social conditions $y 1961- 651 1 $a Sierra Leone $x History $y Civil War, 1991-2002 $v Personal narratives. 651 1 $a Sierra Leone $x Participation, Juvenile. $y Civil War, 1991-2002 $x Participation, Juvenile. 651 1 $a Sierra Leone $x Social conditions $y 1961- 650 1 $a Child soldiers $z Sierra Leone. 650 7 $a 89.76 polemology. $0 (NL-LeOCL)077609166 $2 bcl 600 17 $a Beah, Ishmael, $d 1980- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01644233 650 7 $a Child soldiers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00854677 650 7 $a Military participation $x Juvenile. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353736 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 651 7 $a Sierra Leone. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210248 650 17 $a Child soldiers. $0 (NL-LeOCL)217565239 $2 gtt 650 7 $a Boy soldiers $z Sierra Leone $v Personal narratives. $2 henn 600 17 $a Beah, Ishmael, $d 1980-. $0 (NL-LeOCL)301204438 $2 nta 650 7 $a Sierra Leone. $2 pplt 650 7 $a Civil wars. $2 pplt 650 7 $a Child soldiers. $2 pplt 650 7 $a InboÌrdeskriget i Sierra Leone 1991-2002. $2 sao 650 7 $a Barnsoldater $z Sierra Leone. $2 sao 651 7 $a Sierra Leone $x historia $y 1900-talet. $2 sao 600 17 $a Beah, Ishmael, $d 1980- $2 sears 650 7 $a Children $z Sierra Leone. $2 sears 650 7 $a Soldiers $z Sierra Leone $v Biography. $2 sears 651 7 $a Sierra Leone $x History $v Biography. $2 sears 651 7 $a Sierra Leone $x History $v Personal narratives. $2 sears 651 7 $a Sierra Leone $x Social conditions. $2 sears 648 7 $a Since 1961 $2 fast 653 $a Book Group discussion kits. 655 4 $a Autobiography. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919894 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Personal narratives. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423843 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Personal narratives. $2 lcgft 856 41 $3 Sample text $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0727/2006017101-s.html 856 42 $3 Accompanying Web site $u http://www.alongwaygone.com/ 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0665/2006017101-b.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0665/2006017101-d.html 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l POSX851 $d 20220923095330.0 $n 15 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2D008314AC3311EB98A411E3203FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
