Remembrance

BY TERESA BRESLIN

Brief Description:
In this ALA Best Book for Young Adults, by the Carnegie Medal-winning author of Whispers in the Graveyard, the brutal reality of war is brought home to five Scottish teens in 1915. Seventeen-year-old John Malcolm Dundas, a shopkeeper's son, is eager to fight for his country, as is his fourteen-year-old brother Alex, while John Malcolm's twin sister Maggie hopes war work is the key to escaping her limited prospects as a woman. Meanwhile, the aristocratic Charlotte Armstrong-Barnes, with a mad crush on John Malcolm, has begun training as a nurse, while her older brother Francis quietly opposes the war as sheer lunacy.
