This is a great story of a World War II veteran and his great grandson who idolizes his great grandpa and everything World War II. GG or great grandfather is the last soldier alive of the liberation of a small town in France and is asked to come for their 75 anniversary of this liberation to receive a medal and be recognized as a hero, but is he really a hero or a killer (the one war story GG has never told Traver). GG at 93 has decided he will go to France and retrace his steps all the way there from boot camp at Fort Benning Georgia to Sainte-Regine France, the city of liberation.
This is a action packed, suspenseful, real war book. This book will not make war look glamorous, but tells the stories as they happened in a way OK for middle graders. I want to recognize the author for doing this, to many war stories don't show the way it really is/was, thank you Mr. Korman. I think this book will even suck in reluctant readers. As much as I liked this book I am sure kids of all ages will love it as well.
