This story is plagiarized. Its an insult to the author Louis Pergaud who wrote the original story in 1912. To re-write it just enough (not France but Poland, and yeah do WW2 instead the slums and poverty of Victorian Era/Industrial Evolution) and then pretend its "yours" and then receive a prize for it and flaunt it all over the web w/o shame. Avi is non author as far as Im concern. No better than a thief.

La Guerre des boutons or The War of the Buttons, is a French novel written by Louis Pergaud, from the French region of Franche-Comté, and published in 1912. It describes the "war" between two gangs from rival villages, Longeverne and Velrans, in the countryside of Franche-Comté. Wikipedia
