The Children's Crusade

Every child in town under ten has declared war on the adults, armed with wooden swords and terrifying organization. They're taking hostages (favorite belongings), demanding ransoms (unlimited sweets), and showing tactical brilliance no child should possess. It's almost funny until you realize they're reenacting a historical siege move-for-move. Find what's controlling them before the battle's final, bloody act.
