Reviews
Depending on which path the reader chooses, there is a possible 7 endings for each one. Everything depends on the choices made, yet in the end the reader comes away with a pretty good overview of what life on the American home front in World War II. . . .I liked the interactive element of the book, found the pictures and posters were appropriate to what was being experienced in the chapter where they appear and I liked going back and exploring a new and different path for each character. History and concepts were explained clearly and concisely, and there is also a timeline a glossary, suggestions for further reading, and a well done index, making it a well-rounded book., In the You Choose series, kids get to make their own decisions about ways to spend their time during the world wars. At the bottom of many pages, you are asked to make a decision about what to do or where to go. Subsequent decisions take you to the adventure's end, at which point readers may choose to go back and begin again and find out where an alternate path might have led. This tried-and-true formula works quite well, giving kids a sense of what it was like to be in a situation where every decision had an impact. World War I kicks off with an overview of the war's beginnings. It then moves to Belgium where student nurses must decide whether to stay at their hospital or flee. Later, a British teen has to choose whether to enlist or wait, and several intense choices take readers right onto the battlefield. World War II on the Home Front poses some interesting challenges. For instance, readers are asked to decide if they will help a Japanese friend or run away. If you run away, what kind of remorse do you, as a Jewish boy, have? Will you hide your friend when he is about to be put in an internment camp? With most events based on real-life stories, the books in this series do an excellent job of giving background information to illuminate the you-are-there situations. Well-chosen photos also help bring events closer. A good deal of back matter helps kids learn more., This "choose your own adventure" type book gives the reader 3 main paths to follow: that of a boy in San Diego with a Japanese friend, a woman whose husband is away at war, and an Afro-American amputee who was a soldier. Each path has different choices that tend to follow a moral route. . . .For readers interested in what happened with people during World War II, this is a good read.

    Dishonest and awful seller! Received an item with a missing piece that the seller did not disclose in the listing. And of course seller does not accept returns. When I contacted seller about the missing piece they apologized but offered no resolution. An absolute waste of my time and money. Sellers like this ruin the eBay marketplace with their deceitful , shameless tactics. Buyers Beware! AVOID THIS SELLER!
