Book description
Eleven-year-old Arn is walking through the countryside in Cambodia.
His whole town is walking with him. They're walking into one of the

Music will save him. Hope, luck and kindness will save him. This is

Based on the true story of Arn Chorn-Pond, this is an achingly
raw and powerful novel about a child of war who becomes a man of peace.
