A teenage boy in a trench, in the stuffy haze of the jungle, climbing over the abyss... In moments of social cataclysms: as history shows, children are the most unprotected. Often they too have to pay for the vanity and ambitions of adults. The hero of the story is the young Nicaraguan Richard Loza, who firmly believes in the ideals of the revolution, with a keen boyish gaze he was able to see behind the colorful posters, the riot of rallies, the floweriness of political slogans, the drama of revolutionary transformations, the sacrifices and tragedies of ordinary people. The adventure plot of the story will help the reader, together with the hero, find answers to not at all childish questions: why is the revolution being carried out? Why did they give me a carbine? Who am I on this earth? A book for middle school children.
