MY SECRET WAR by Mary Pope Osborne


My Secret War: The World War II Diary of Madeline Beck, Long Island, New York, 1941 (Dear America Series)

My Secret War is a World War II diary of Maddie Beck. Maddie is an 8th grader from Long Island, New York who wanted to make a difference because her dad was in war. She started by creating a club called Kids Fight For Freedom to help soldiers in need. Then one day her family received a telegram that turned Maddie's world upside down.

My favorite part took place on June 23rd,1942. I liked it because it was exciting and scary at the same time.What happened was Maddie and her friend Johnny were patrolling the beach for Nazi soldiers when they found a big pile of seaweed. They started to dig it up. Underneath was a box filled with tubes and white powder. Near by was a pack of German cigarettes, 2 coats, a pair of overalls and 3 caps with Nazi swastikas on them.

I would recommend this book for boys and girls ages 8-11
