this book is abouy world war1 and what went down who and why it happen you should read this book.

Linc picked this out from his school library.
The content for him to read solo was a little too advanced. Maybe not for every 2nd grader.

[Karen Bessin]

The idea of using different perspectives to give an overview of the war was very effective, but I found the choppiness of the sentences distracting. It was hard to get into each person's story because of the writing style.

Still, it is a good introduction to WWI for students who are interested in doing more reading on their own and are trying to narrow down a topic--a very quick read.
