In Off to War: Voices of Soldiers’ Children she interviews kids ages 6-17 from military families across the U.S. and Canada, and in the book they tell their own stories, in their own words. It's very powerful stuff, and provides a deeply affecting look into the lives of children whose voices aren't always heard.

There were a number of comments about the inappropriate language/content even for a Young Adult section in our elementary libraries. I know the reviews on it have been excellent- I wonder what kind of feedback we would get from parents. I guess I'll just have to read it myself. Any other recommends are always welcome, as well.
