Re: BOOK When will this cruel war be over by Denenberg

["Karen McLachlan, LMS & Technology Coordinator"]

Fred and all,

        I am in the process of reading my fourth book of this series, and
I am delighted that so far all four have been of equal quality. The four
that I have read all have spunky protagonists who endure the hardships of
their era and survive with sense of humor intact. I think these books will
be good for not only American history, but also for journal writing, and
discussing tone, style, voice, etc. With authors like Patricia McKissack,
Kristiana Gregory, and Kathryn Lasky, I'm optimistic that this entire
series will be excellent. I had never read anything by Barry Denenberg
before, but I agree with you that "When Will This Cruel War Be Over" is a
great read. So far I have been able to uncover nine books in this series
and have ordered all the ones that I don't already have. I have also heard
that a boys series to correspond with this series is coming out this fall
- wouldn't that be dynamite?
