“Rosenblatt’s debut is fiction, but rooted in fact: the plight of “lost boy soldiers” was all too real. Thanks to careful research and a well-written narrative, Rosenblatt brings their stories to vivid and memorable life. The lost boys, at least here, are found.” — Michael Cart – Booklist

“Written in first-person, with both the fear and the hope of a 12-year-old who is thrust into a new world, this is a page-turner that will inspire kids to be true friends and have compassion. It’s also a story that will invite discussions about the middle east, war, and religion. collections.” Barnes and Noble Kids August 2017
