When soliders arrive at his hometown in Cambodia, Arn is just a kid, selling ice cream with his brother, but everything changes. After the soliders march the entire population into the countryside, Arn is separated from family and is assigned to a labor camp, working in the rice paddies under a blazing sun he sees the other children weak from hunger and malaria. He sees prisoners marched to a near by mango grove, and never return. One day the soldiers ask if any of the kids can a play a instrument. Arn never has played a note in his life, but he volunteers. This decicion will save his life, but it will pull him into the very center of what to know today as Killing Fields. Will he achieve his goal to save all the kids? I rate this book four stars out of five because it pulled me in sometimes, but sometimes it didn't. This book was very descriptive in all that happens in the story. I recommend this book to people that love based on true stories and people who like to read a story that shows a great lesson.
