Publisher Description

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Restart, a story of telling truth from lies -- and finding out what being a hero really means.There are two things Trevor loves more than anything else: playing war-based video games and his great-grandfather Jacob, who is a true-blue, bona fide war hero. At the height of the war, Jacob helped liberate a small French village, and was given a hero's welcome upon his return to America.Now it's decades later, and Jacob wants to retrace the steps he took during the war -- from training to invasion to the village he is said to have saved. Trevor thinks this is the coolest idea ever. But as they get to the village, Trevor discovers there's more to the story than what he's heard his whole life, causing him to wonder about his great-grandfather's heroism, the truth about the battle he fought, and importance of genuine valor.

Hey there Highschool

I’ve been reading Gordon Korman ever since seventh grade and I have never stopped!! All of his books are extremely entertaining and I love all the elements that he puts into this one!! The story telling and the writing going back and forth from the 40’s to when the book is taking place (2020) is extremely well written!
The way Mr Gordon writes this book makes me laugh, cry, and want to delve deeper into the locations and training of WWII!
THANK YOU GORDON KORMAN FOR WRITING SUCH A FANTASTIC BOOK!!
