Chanda's WARS
Allan Stratton
Chanda's war is a fictional story that brings to life the sad reality of genocide and the terrible atrocities that take place in countries like Uganda, Sudan, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, and Somalia. Chanda and her younger brother and sister become orphans when their mother dies and she is left the responsibility of caring for them. She ends up traveling back to her mothers rural village trying to end a family feud that has been going on for years. As she is preparing to bring her younger siblings back home, the rebel band of Mandiki attacks the village and kills her grandfather and kidnaps her younger brother and sister. Chanda begins the search for the rebels and attempts the daring rescue of her brother ans sister.
This was a well written book that will give teenagers a real look at the atrocities that are taking place in many third world countires around the world, without going into too much detail.
