Summary: INTRIGINGLY AMAZING
Review: I first read this book in grade 8. I cried in parts of it because it is a very touching story of a young girl who has to learn to help her mother cope with the loss of her husband. I just couldn't put it down. The details of the descriptions couldn't be more precise and perfect. I hope you'll read this book and have the same feelings that I do.

Summary: Lost In The War
Review: In eighth grade in the early 1980's Lisa doesn't really remember the vietnam war. Though she goes through it everyday. Her father was killed in the war, and her mother, a nurse, still has nightmeres about being stationed there. When Lisas history teatcher announces a section on Vietnam it Lisa is reluctant to deal with it. But as she listens to speakers, who lived the vietnam war, and works on an assignment to design a Vietnam war memorial, Lisa develops a better understanding of not just the vietnam war but what her parents went through. Nancy Antle present a historically accurate account of war. She displays informationabout the memories of a injured veteran. Also about what people did who protested the war and avoided the draft, or tried to. There are two scenes that really stayed with me as I read: Lisa's mother speaks to her history class about nursing soldiers, and the Grey's (Lisa's family) attend the dedication of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, where Lisa leaves a little something for her father. This is a fantastic book, especially for readers who enjoy reading about war or who don't know much about the Vietnam war; I suggest it to be read.

Summary: I got a little bit bored with it.
Review: Set in 1982, the story of a family who has been totally consumed by Vietnam. Lisa and Jenny's father was killed in Vietnam. Their mother still quite regularly wakes up screaming in the middle of night due to her experiences nursing wounded and dying soldiers. When Lisa's teacher announces the class will be studying Vietnam, she wants nothing to do with it. As she tells him, she hears quite enough about Vietnam at home. But he convinces her to participate anyway, and bring her mother in to talk to the class, and it turns into a healing experience for the entire family.

It was an okay book, but I think it could have been a lot better. After seven chapters of nothing but Vietnam I was saying to myself, "Surely that can't be the only thing these people think about?" Good if you're fanatically interested in Vietnam, maybe, but I am not.

My grandfather died when i was younger and I had a hard time coping with his loss but the feelings revealed in this story almost helped me get through his death.
