Although this book has been in our Library since it came out, I am finally reading it since it was nominated for the Red Maple award. About 3/4 the way through, I am impressed. Some of the passages have shocked me and have really allowed me to truly feel what families must feel when a parent goes to war. What is great about this book is that it is current. We are not reading about something that happened years ago (like WWI or WWII), but a war that is still being fought. So far, this book is reminding me to be accepting of all and to continue to advocate for those who do not have a voice - like our Vow of Silence day. I cannot imagine not being able to attend school, just because I am female...something we really take for granted here in Canada.
Your thoughts and impressions about Wounded? Try to not give away crucial points of the story.
This book is the best book I have read so far!
ReplyDeleteSo descriptive and lots of details help make you feel like the story is unfolding in front of you. I think it is the best book by Eric Walters
I took part in the Vow of Silence!, it was hard. Now thinking about living a life like that seems so sad.
