BR 08: Arman's journey

'Today's a very good day for you,' he says. 'You are coming with us. You're going to be soldiers.'
I don't want to be a soldier. I turn and run to the wall.(p. 9)

If you have to be a soldier, can you accept the facts? I think most people cannot because they have valued persons like their friends, parents, and a girlfriend.
Arman who is a main character of this story was seventeen years old and he wasn't so rich. Suddenly, he was declared that he must be a soldier. However, he didn't want to be because he had a mother who is his only family. Then, he ran there using his mother's money and went to England to meet his uncle. After that, he met a girl in England. Her name is Rose. Arman and Rose became good friends but he had some problems afterward...
This book is in the Cambridge English readers series. Also, this is starter series one. The details of this book is complex but have worthwhile reading. I recommend you will try this book!
