Allies By Alan Gratz

June 6, 1944: The Nazis are terrorizing Europe, on their evil quest to conquer the world. The only way to stop them? The biggest, most top-secret operation ever, with the Allied nations coming together to storm German-occupied France.

Welcome to D-Day.

I think Alan Gratz is a very good author. This is a war book and war isn't always "kid friendly". Alan Gratz does a good job writing from multiple perspectives. This gives us an idea on how war touches MANY people. I debated putting this on our third grade blog but reminded myself that kids play video games that are just as graphic. If you like history this is a good book for you!
This is a higher reading level; maybe 4th or 5th grade.
