paperback, CMSW, 230 pages
Maud Hart Lovelace nominee
Alternating between the stories of Dieter's rise in the Hitler Youth and Spence's choice to join the American army, this WWII tale definitely tells a tale of war. I found it interesting to see how the author showed Dieter's perspective and the events happening around him.
The ending caught me by surprise - I really didn't see it coming. This is a powerful war story, coming-of-age story, and great historical fiction. I'm not big on war fiction (too painful & too real!), but this book definitely kept my attention and interest.
