Customer Reviews

Surprisingly popular with Middle School students

I was amazed at how many of my 8th grade students enjoyed this book. I added it to my classroom library and now the students wait for its availability. For those of you using "Lexile ranges," it has a Lexile Level of 1140. Quick read, 145 pages.

very interesting

I am reading this to my grandson. He is really interested in WWII. It is very interesting and we are learning a lot of things we never knew. Very easy reading. We are only a third of the way through and would recommend this book for any age group. I am really enjoying it and so is he.

FIRST WAR

THE BOOK THAT I AM GOING TO WRITE ABOUT ON THE FIRST WORLD WAR TI MIS A REAL GOOD BOOK BECAUSE THEY TELL YOU A LOT ABOUT THE WAR AND IT HAPPENED BEFORE WE WERE BORN AND IT WAS REAL BAD BECAUSE THAT WAS ONE OF THE BADDEST EVER THAT EVERYONE CAN KNOW ABOUT AND SO MANY PEOPLE DIED 260,000 PEOPLE AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE BADDEST WARS IN THE WORLD.
