Review
This brief historical novel consists of letters written between two brothers during WWII. Joe, the older brother is drafted and sent to Britain. Charlie is left behind in Cleveland to look out for their parents and to deal with the neighborhood bullies. Joe must work closely with a fellow soldier who is difficult. His letters reveal information that may encourage readers to learn more about some of the secret operations that took place in Britain during the war. The tone of the letters is authentic. The format and writing is very accessible to lower level readers. An author's note is included. I recommend this for grades 4-8.
Overall Book Score: very good
