This summer I read A Long Way Gone which is a true story by Ishmael Beah. He is a very good author. A Long Way Gone is one of his most popular books and I hope to read more of his books later on through out this school year.
A Long Way Gone is about Ishmael when he was a boy at the age of 12 he had to become a soldier in a civil war that was in Sierra. His village was under attack by the rebels. Ishmael lost his whole family do to the rebels and he had to find a way to survive. He traveled all around Africa by himself trying to find food and trying to survive by his self. Then Ishmael met up with his uncle and they were excited to see each other. Then they went to New York to a meeting and talked about his journey. Ishmael told his uncle the whole story of how he had to survive in Africa by himself for a very long time and how much he learned along the way.
