Michael at the Invasion of France 1943 (Boys of Wartime)

About this book

When the Nazis invade Paris Michael a thirteen-year- old French-American wants to be a part of the Resistance. Starting small vandalizing Nazi propaganda and refusing to hail Hitler Michael works his way into the full-blown Resistance escorting American aviators to safe zones and delivering important spy documents. But when an injured pilot needs help to escape France will Michael be brave enough to complete the mission? With historical notes time lines and maps to augment the page-turning action its easy to see why School Library Journal says Boys of Wartime "will appeal to history buffs and reluctant readers alike."
