Description
Books written about World War Two seldom examine the conflict from the perspective of a young boy or girl. This publication, however, shares the personal experiences of one boy growing up in war torn England during WW2. Readers learn about how this young lad learned to survive bombing raids, use a gas mask, grow his own victory garden, and invent ways to have fun during air raids when everything was blacked out. The lessons that this boy learns as he seeks to survive a conflict that he barely understands are vividly portrayed within the pages of this touching and beautifully illustrated volume. 92 pgs, pb. ~ Mike
