Under a War-Torn Sky by L.M. Elliott is another book that has been on my bookshelf for awhile. It is about 19-year-old Henry who is a pilot during World War II. When he gets shot down during a bombing mission, he relies on local people and the French Resistance to help him find safety.
This was a really neat story and particularly interesting because it is based on stories the author's father told of his experience as a shot-down pilot in WWII. The book gave lots of information about the war without being boring--it was all just a part of Henry's experience. The characters were realistic, and it was a good read.
Rating: * * (2/3 = Liked it)
