This is a good book for adults and children to read. It reveals how intolerance of other peoples views can be very harmful.
Elizabeth and Margaret start out having a romantic view of the war - both of their brothers are enlisted, but as the book progresses, and they are helping a deserter, they begin to see a different side of war.
Gordy, Doug, and Toad terrorize Margaret and Elizabeth.
The girls find out a secret that Gordy will do anything to keep. Because of the secret, Elizabeth and Margaret learn more about Gordy and his family than he wants them to know.
I think Mary Downing Hahn did a beautiful job of portraying the ravages of war.
