Children No More by Mark L. Van Name

This is a scifi book making a point.   The point is that children should not be used as soldiers.   The author’s frustration is that perhaps “only” 300,000 kids are being used as soldiers.  Only 300,000 is a horrific number but it doesn’t seem large enough to get the international community outraged enough to try harder to end it.   That is the point behind this novel.   A good story with a very sad basis made it hard sometimes to read it.

Van Name writes a good story and apparently has a good heart as the proceeds of this book go to Falling Whistles to rehabilitate children in war.   www.fallingwhistles.com or www.chldrennomore.com

I recommend the book.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
