Jelly Baby
eBook
(Monarch Books March 7, 2004)
In a camp for boy soldiers during Sierra Leone’s civil war, a bizarre drama plays itself out. At the center of it is Jelly Baby – a little wisp of a boy barely the size of the AK-47 each child must bear. In this powerful indictment of child soldiering, the twists and turns of the plot leave us breathless and deepen our sense of the madness of wars.
