(3) YA This taut, disturbing story portrays twelve-year-old Sonny and his best friend, Alberto, living in the impoverished, violent city of Medillín, Colombia. Sonny and Alberto, lured by the promise of money and power, become child assassins for drug lords. Although disjointed at times, this bleak, heartbreaking story is powerful and haunting.
