Soldier Boys

Book By Dean Hughes

Review By Adam

Three Stars – Good Book

I highly recommend Soldier Boys. Every other chapter is about Spencer, an American boy, and Dieter a German boy. They each enlist in the World War 2 and see gruesome sighs of men struggling and dying. This is a book of survival and I appreciate how you could see the perspective of how the boys looked at the war.

(Book #1of the Gideon Trilogy)

Review by Adam

Four Stars– Excellent

A scientific experiment goes wrong and two kids get transferred back to 1763. They experience how life is in 1763 and figure out how to return to the 21st century. There is also a squeal but it isn’t as good but I still recommend.
