Summer Soldiers

This is a great book. You will never want to put it down. It will keep you at the edge of your seat. It shows you how difficult it is to be a 12-year-old boy, who gets picked on by his friend's brother, and doesn't know if his dad is dead in the war. On top of that he stands up for his friend because they think his father is a coward for not going to war. I would reckremend this book to any one. It is one you can read to your whole family.

History comes alive in a touching and memorable way...

Summer Soldiers brings the history of WWI alive in a unique and very touching way. This book is hard to put down, as it feels so very real. The anguish of having a beloved parent away from home, the difficulties coping with bullies bigger than you are, the struggles to make the right decisions and carry on when things get tough, are just some of the struggles that Joe copes with in this extremely well-written novel. This is a good choice for either boys or girls, but especially for boys. How refreshing to find an interesting, compelling book for boys without a lot of violence in it! Kids of today can identify with the emotional turmoil in Joe's life, while they are stepping back into a time in history far beyond today's experiences.I highly recommend this book as a gift for Birthdays and Christmas!

A great read with lots of historical atmosphere!

SUMMER SOLDIERS is a charming story of a boy experiencing the hardships of World War 1 on the homefront. The bullies he encounters are realistically depicted as mean and ornery. The historical facts are just right and blend in well with the story. Joe is a sympathetic character that all readers will cheer on when he displays his courage and honesty.
