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.
