(4) YA In 1982, Iranian twelve-year-old Reza joins the fight against Iraq. Wounded and taken to a prison camp, Reza's life is brightened only by the reappearance of his friend and by an Irish aid worker who helps rekindle Reza's interest in music. The compelling story would benefit from more background about Islam and Iranian-Iraqi political histories. A brief author's note is appended.
