内容简介
Davy Bowman’s brother and their dad hung the moon.Dad looks forward to Halloween more than a kid,and Davy’s brother,Bill,flies B-17s.Davy adores these two heroes and tries his best to follow their lead,especially now.
World War II has invaded Davy’s homefront boyhood.There’s an air raid drill in the classroom,and being a kid is an endless scrap drive.Bill has joined up,breaking their dad’s heart.It’s an intense,confusing time,and one that will invite Davy to grow up in a hurry.
Still,Richard Peck is a master of comedy,and even in this novel of wartime uncertainty,he infuses his tale with humor:oddballs and rascals and boyhood misadventures alongside the poignant moments.This is one of Richard Peck’s very finest novels-a tender,unforgettable portrait of the World War II homefront and a family’s love.
