Product Description
Is War A Thing To Be Forgotten?That's what Annie's mother would like to do. She wants to forget the pain and heartache--and to keep it away from Annie, too. But Annie cannot forget the death of her favorite uncle, who was killed in France. She cannot forget Andrew, the angry young veteran she meets at the hospital where her father works. Can Annie find the courage to help Andrew? And will she ever be able to make sense of a war that took so much from so many? Drawn to the Kansas hospital where her father cares for wounded World War One veterans, Annie meets Andrew, a disfigured young soldier. As Annie helps Andrew slowly adjust to his wounds, she also faces devastating truths about war and the complex world of adulthood. ‘A girl on the brink of womanhood comes to terms with the brutal aftereffects of war in an absorbing novel.’ —BL.

• Great Book 15 June, 2008
Well, by now you must have read what the book is about, so I'll just write my reaction to it.
I was reluctant at first to read this book, because of the subject matter. I'm not really into historic novels; they tend to be too "educational" and the story gets a little lost in the historic narrative, but this book is a great example of how a historical novel should be like: history is just a background for the story itself, which is great and unfolds smooth and beautifully.
As a middle school teacher, this book is a little gem, since it gives so many topics for discussion. I highly recommend it!

• I Remember This One... 24 May, 2008
I read this book when I was fifteen, the year it was published, and presented an oral report on it in class. I haven't read it recently but I remember that, at the time, I found it deeply affecting and moving. My favorite book at that time was The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare, and, though I didn't like this one quite as much, I remember identifying strongly with the progaonist in the same way as I did in that book, a strong female protagonist who doesn't have things all figured out yet, but who is just learning who she is.
