Michel Chikwanine was only five when he was abducted from outside his school by rebel soldiers in The Democratic Republic of Congo.

This book is aimed at readers aged 9+, however it does contain some images that some readers may find difficult or distressing. The cartoon / graphic novel style of the book does contain images of violence, including guns, knives, dead bodies and other explicit scenes.
