Two Sides

by Matthew K. Manning, Dijjo Lima (Illustrator), Carlos Furuzono (Illustrator)

Overview

Private Eli Recato's fellow soldiers call him “Bloodhound,” but Eli isn’t fond of the nickname. He isn’t fond of his self-appointed best buddy, Private Badger, either. What he IS fond of is saving lives by sniffing out IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices) in Afghanistan and disabling them. But when a bomb finds HIM, Eli is faced with a choice that seems to be little more than the flip of a coin: head into a crawlspace and hide with an Afghan man he’s never met before, or hightail it out of insurgent territory without a weapon.
