"Chanda's Wars" by Allan Stratton
Chanda is ready to risk it all to keep her two younger siblings - Iris and Soly - safe from harm. Their mother died 6 months ago of AIDS, and Chanda is learning it's difficult to raise children in Africa, especially since civil war has broken out. They take a trip to visit relatives in a remote village, and get trapped there when rebel forces start to attack. General Mandiki is stealing children to recruit them for his army. Will they ever be able to return home?
