takes place on the home front during WWII, deals with changes in life with a parent fighting in the war and the disappearance of his friend Jack, combines the genre of historical fiction with the element of mystery being added, readers who enjoy mysteries besides those who enjoy historical fiction will like this book, teaches readers that changes in life are not always easy but you will come out stronger and will get through this time
