[LM_NET] BOOK: On the wings of heroes by Peck

[Frederick Muller <mullinator52@GMAIL.COM>]

Peck, Richard. On the wings of heroes. Dial, 2007 [978-0-8037-3081-6]
World War II engulfs the life and town in which Davy lives in
Illinois.  He brother joins the air force and his father served in the
previous war.  Everything is getting rationed.  Richard Peck has once
again written a pleasant narrative with his usual clever and funny
anecdotes threaded throughout serious overlay of the war affecting a
family and community.  This 148 page book allows the reader to
experience life during World War II rather than experience a complex
plot.
