Gordon Korman's latest features a 12-yr-old boy named Trevor who loves war...war video games, posters and the topic in general. His great-grandfather, GG, was one of the brave soldiers who liberated France in WWII. But when GG is invited to France to honor him on the 75th anniversary of the victory, his war stories lose a bit of their shine when Trevor learns of the tragedies behind the glory. I enjoyed this story, and more importantly, I am grateful for a story that highlights the error in glorifying war.
