Dad looks forward to Halloween more than a kid, and Davy's brother, Bill, flies B-17s. Davy adores these two heroes and tries his best to follow their lead, especially now.<p> World War II has invaded Davy's homefront boyhood. There's an air raid drill in the classroom, and being a kid is an endless scrap drive. Bill has joined up, breaking their dad's heart. It's an intense, confusing time, and one that will invite Davy to grow up in a hurry.<p> Still, Richard Peck is a master of comedy, and even in this novel of wartime uncertainty, he infuses his tale with humor: oddballs and rascals and boyhood misadventures alongside the poignant moments. This is one of Richard Peck's very finest novels&#151;a tender, unforgettable portrait of the World War II homefront and a family's love.<p> 39674 15 2 2007 On The Wings of Heroes total:232|5:66|4:108|3:45|2:11|1:2| 232 921 334 96 5 1 false false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Sun Dec 09 18:21:50 -0800 2007 Sun Dec 09 18:29:36 -0800 2007 more...]]> 0 0 false false Wed Sep 30 12:40:14 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 30 12:40:14 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Aug 12 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 12 12:21:15 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 12 22:55:20 -0700 2009
