World War II on the Home Front

"Depending on which path the reader chooses, there is a possible 7 endings for each one.  Everything depends on the choices made, yet in the end the reader comes away with a pretty good overview of what life on the American home front in World War II. . . .I liked the interactive element of the book, found the pictures and posters were appropriate to what was being experienced in the chapter where they appear and I liked going back and exploring a new and different path for each character.  History and concepts were explained clearly and concisely, and there is also a timeline a glossary, suggestions for further reading, and a well done index, making it a well-rounded book."

"This "choose your own adventure" type book gives the reader 3 main paths to follow: that of a boy in San Diego with a Japanese friend, a woman whose husband is away at war, and an Afro-American amputee who was a soldier.  Each path has different choices that tend to follow a moral route. . . .For readers interested in what happened with people during World War II, this is a good read."
