{"product_id":"the-eleventh-hour","title":"The Eleventh Hour","description":"\u003cp\u003eJim and Jules are childhood friends  born on the same day in the same village. All their lives  Jim has been first  born two minutes before Jules  always faster  always stronger. When the First World War breaks out in Europe  the two young men enlist in the fight with 30 000 other Canadians.  On the Front  conditions arent epic and glorious but muddy and barbaric. Here  too  Jim is the first to attack. Jules is always two minutes behind: lagging in drills  missing the boat  handed chores instead of honors. On November 11  1918  Jim and Jules are sent out to fight one last time. Jim  always first over the top of the trench  is shot and dies at 10:58am  two minutes before the Armistice takes effect at 11:00am.  Illustrated by political cartoonist and Letters to a Prisoner author Jacques Goldstyn and inspired by true events  this picture book is a simple  poignant  thought-provoking story to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the Armistice in 2018.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44947770638389,"sku":"ByrdShop_1771473487","price":60.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781771473484.jpg?v=1770664336","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-eleventh-hour","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
