- $12.99
It's the summer of 1918, and twelve-year-old George Callahan is caught up in war fever—hunting for spies, burning Kaiser dummies, and dreaming of long pants. But when his older brother refuses to fight, his glamorous aunt announces she'll join the Marines, and a kindly German neighbor becomes the victim of vandalism, George must sort out what courage and manhood really mean. A vivid, warm-hearted look at the American home front during the Great War.
- A rare WWI story set on the American home front—not the battlefield—perfect for classrooms studying the Great War
- A twelve-year-old spy hunter discovers the real enemy is prejudice, not his German neighbor
- A brother who won't fight, an aunt who wants to join the Marines: one boy's whole idea of courage gets turned upside down
- Features a cameo by a young Walt Disney and authentic Kansas City history
“"War means killing other human beings. That's wrong."”
Perfect for a middle-grade reader (especially a boy) who loves historical adventure and stories about kids facing grown-up problems during wartime.
