Although they interconnected, some characters that were introduced in the beginning did not come back until the very end. Through these characters, Alan Gratz paints a strong picture in the reader’s mind of D-Day and all that it entailed.Īnything you didn’t like about it? Due to the abundance of characters, I found it difficult to keep track of the story lines. You will meet a young girl who pushes aside social expectations and works alongside the men, saving many lives. You will meet a young boy of sixteen, exiting a tank and being thrown into a world he could not imagine. You will meet an African-American medic who is not only dealing with gunfire but also racism. The reader will be able to engage in various points of view throughout the story. Although each character makes an individual impact, collectively they show how even small deeds can make a difference against a strong opponent. Alan Gratz depicts the monumental day on June 6 th by introducing readers to several characters involved in the fighting against Germany. What did you like about the book? It is D-Day and Nazi Germany has been terrorizing Europe for years. Rating: (5 is an excellent or a Starred review) 3
