Boy Soldier by Brad Beals was a quirky story about a young boy named Joshua left alone in the fields one day. His father and brother were off serving in the king's war and his mother gone to tend his injured brother. One day while at work collecting the harvest a peddle comes by with a summons to the king's city 'come prepared for war'. So, the boy filled with wonders and dreams of soldierhood finishes the harvest, collects a makeshift helm, sword, and shield, and sets off to the city. Through a series of humorous misfortunes he loses all three, but he continues onward to the capital. But what happens when the boy appears before the kind emptyhanded?
