Synopsis

A senior in high school, Abe's got a scholarship awaiting him, a hot girlfriend and a loving and wealthy adoptive family, including a brother his own age. But suddenly, horrific flashbacks and seizures rip him back to five years ago in war-torn Africa, where he lost his mother, his sister, his friends and almost his own life to torturous violence. Abe in Arms is a suspenseful, action-filled book that will open teens' eyes and hearts to the lives of young people exposed to violence around the world, uncovering terrible experiences of war.
