AK

AK depicts the horrible story of child warriors in Africa. Paul was a homeless orphan boy when guerilla soldiers found him wandering in the bush. The soldiers taught him to carry a gun, an old AK, and become a “Warrior” — someone to prepare meals for a soldier “uncle,” serve as a sentry or act as a decoy in ambushes. When the war ends, Paul’s uncle, Michael, declares that the boy is to be his adopted son. It will be Paul’s job to get an education, learn English and study the country’s dominant cultures. All arms are to be turned in to the government, but Paul buries his AK in a secret place. Paul is learning the Fulu language in a settlement away from Dangoum, the capital city, when word comes that there has been a coup. Along with a couple of the other boy Warriors and Jilli, the young girl teaching him Fulu, Paul strikes out for Dangoum where he is certain his uncle’s life is in danger. It is a route that will take him past the spot where the AK is buried, and Paul knows the time has come to dig it up. Written at an average reading level with graphic depictions of war, the story presents two possible results of the violence — one showing a positive direction; one locked into the bleak recurrence of strife and warfare — and challenges the citizens of today to effect a change for the better.
