Remembrance

This is a historical fiction novel written by Theresa Breslin.

It is the summer of 1915, and war is raging between Britain and Germany as well as all their allies. Men are being urged to join the growing list of recruits and even those who are underage and not yet eligible are eager to join in what they believe will be an epic adventure full of fun and merriment. This novel focuses on five young people living in Stratharden village and describes their war-related encounters and of course, how it changes their lives- forever. This novel doesn't prominently stand out against other books I've read but it serves as a reminder that war is a terrifying thing, full of carnage, violence and unnecessary deaths, a totally different experience from what it's like in PC Games and etc.
