This is one of those stories that stays with the reader long after they have read it. It is very well written. We get to look through the eyes of a young man who has lost his father to the war. He is like many who lose their way only to find it in a strange turn of events. I look forward to putting this on my shelves at school. It will give my students a look at life during the 1940's for children of that time. There are so many lessons to be learned through this book. There is so much they can compare to today and the war we fight in Iraq and Afghanistan. The book was a look at one life in particular, Jack Dalton. However, we see that not only is he affected by decisions he makes, but his decisions affect others as well. This is a must read for anyone interested in life during this period in time. This is a book for old a young alike.
