It was very engaging and a fun twist on the history of the war. It was sweet and emotional all the way through. Enjoyed seeing it through the eyes of a child. ( )

this book is about the war and what a little girl writes in her diary when her father is chosen to go to the war. This book makes you feel as though you are actually in the war. I would recomend this book to children ages 8-12. ( )

I like books that have a diary format because I think they can engage kids to think about writing. Carrie wrote about this one at 5 Minutes for Books.
