This book is a fictionalized account of a journal from Simone Spencer, an eighteen year old girl. She starts journaling around the start of WWI. She joins up with the Signal Corps and ends up on the front lines. I couldn't put the book down.

This book is listed for 9-12 grade reading level, but, I rather enjoyed it. Anyone who is interested in history of WWI from the eyes of a girl coming of age or if you'd like to read of the unsung heroines of WWI this is a good one.
