Background
Published in 2015 Kimberly Brubaker Bradley intended this book to be a historical fiction for middle school students. It became a best seller and has a sequel The War I Finally Won.
It is a story of an English girl and her brother were moved out to the country during the German assault on the UK in WWII.
My Thoughts
I read this because my 13 year old son was reading it for school. It really wasn’t a bad story but it isn’t my normal genre of book. Ms. Bradley does a good job of keeping the reader engaged and wanting to continue.
I was glad to hear there was a sequel to the book as it left off without much closure.
Recommendation
I’m about half way on this. I’m not sure why my son was reading it for school but it isn’t a bad story.
