This is a new book from Scholastic publishing. I teach grades 6-8 literature--my students who like 'war' stories liked this book.
From back cover:
12-year-old Calvin Fakes his way into the US Navy during WWII. He soon finds himself battling Japanese kamikaze pilots during the epic battle of Guadalcanal.
Lucie, a 14-year-old Belgian, joins the Resistance and saves the lives of downed Allied pilots. How will she survive when captured by the Gestapo?
These and other real teens risked their lives to serve their countries in wartime.
