The Big War: Books for Kids About the Kids of World War II
For those young people who may be following the documentary now in progress on PBS, Ken Burns' The War is a great way to gain an intimate understanding of World War II and some of the real people who lived through it.
As a valuable adjunct to the documentary's personal narratives and black-and-white film images, quality fiction can help the facts come alive as the war is portrayed through the eyes and voices of children who experienced it as the most significant event in their young lives. From the homefront to Hiroshima, from Norway to Korea, Hawaii to Berlin, France to Los Alamos, the English Blitz to the concentration camps of Poland, there are many great novels of the big war in children's literature which put readers in the midst of those events which shaped our world.
To track those novels I have previously reviewed, enter the tag The Big War or the subject heading World War II in the search box beside the Blogger icon at the top of the web page. The reviews of these books will come up, arranged with the most recent reviews first. Books may also be searched by title or author.

I would also suggest 'When Mack Came Back,' by Brad Strickland.
Not a 'war story' as such, it follows the life of a ten-year-old boy living on a farm in Georgia, whose older brother has run off to join the Army in WW2, and the effect on the rest of his family of having a son absent in the service and in peril.

James foreman's "Horses of Anger" is a great read for adolescents on WWII

I lost my job few months back and there was no way to get income for my family, things was so tough and I couldn’t get anything for my children, not until a met a recommendation on a page writing how Mr Bernie Doran helped a lady in getting a huge amount of profit every 6 working days on trading with his management on the cryptocurrency Market, to be honest I was skeptical at first but I took the risk to take a loan, and I contacted him unbelievable and I was so happy I received a profit of $15,500 with an investment of $1500 within 7 days of trading , the most joy is that I can now take care of my family, i am just sharing my testimony on here. I don’t know how to appreciate your good work Mr. Bernie Doran, God will continue to bless you for being a life saver I have no way to appreciate you than to tell people about your good services.
