Brave Like My Brother by Marc Tyler Nobleman

Brave Like My Brother by Marc Tyler Nobleman is a 2018 RICBA Nominee. This is a story told through the letters that Joe sends to Charlie, his little brother. Joe is a soldier stationed in England after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. He is going through training and Joe's letters takes the reader right up to the day before D-Day when the Allied troops invaded Normandy to fight against the Nazis.

This is also a story about an older brother who is trying to help his little brother with his own battle against the bullies that bother him at school. The book has plenty to offer, especially to war buffs. I especially liked that the story was told through letters and I would advise you not to skip the author's note at the end, it was very interesting and informative.

Battle Heroes: Voices From Afghanistan by Allan Zullo

Battle Heroes: Voices From Afghanistan by Allan Zullo is a great book. It is action packed and has a lot of thrills. It is one of those books that has multiple stories in one book. My favorite story is when a doctor has to run through the battlefield unprotected with no weapons and save a soldier from a severe bullet wound. Then he runs a quarter of a mile back to the helicopter with a soldier on his back. If you enjoy this book, Allen has a whole series of similar books.

I liked this book a lot because it reminds me of when my great grandfather and my papa used to tell me stories about when they were in the war. This book brought me back to the days that they used to tell me stories. If you like action packed books and books that keep you on your heels this is the right book for you.
