Book review: Readers will cheer for sports-themed title Davy Bowman idolizes his dad and his older brother. His dad loves Halloween more than any kid in the neighborhood and Bill, his brother, flies B-17s.
All is well until World War II pulls the United States into war. Bill goes off to war, there are air-raid drills at school, food and gasoline is rations and Davy and his friend, Scooter, start collecting various things to help with the war effort. Richard Peck does his usual wonderful writing, combining humor with the seriousness of the war to give a look at how this war affects Davy and his friends. Susan Wray is the director of Joplin Public Library.
