Gaeddert, Louann._Friends and enemies_.Atheneum, 2000 William's father, a minister, is transferred to Kansas in 1941. There he as trouble making friends in the HS but slowly becomes friends with a Mennonite boy. When Pearl Harbor is bombed everything changes.. the town gets all patriotic and the Mennonites refuse to cooperation with anything having to do with war. This book show the mixed feelings when your country goes to war and what happens to people who oppose war - such as the Mennonites. This touching 177 page book deals with friendship, growing up, moving, being a preacher's kid, patriotism, and religious convictions. I feel it is an honest depiction of the time and place. *************** Frederick Muller Halsted Middle School Library 59 Halsted Street Newton, NJ 07860 voice (973) 383-7440 ext 228 FAX (973) 383-7432 My book reviews are compiled at: http://www.halsted.org/br.htm My personal web site is: http://users.tellurian.net/fmuller =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-= All postings to LM_NET are protected under copyright law.
