(4) YA A child soldier rescued from fictional Lasai, Africa, and taken to London, Kaninda wants to return to Lasai to fight, but he's drawn into the neighborhood gang war and his foster sister's anguish over a hit-and-run accident. The dialogue is filled with difficult-to-decipher London slang, but the hard, gritty approach to atrocities witnessed and committed is ultimately believable.
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
