I'm a big fan of Magaret Peterson Haddix, her books are always thought provoking, what would life be like it??? And she once again has created a story where we ask that exact question. What would life be like if your entire life your country has been at war, how about not just your lifetime but also your parents lifetime, what if this war had been going on for as long as people could remember? Interesting and a scary thought.
Here's the summary from the back cover.
For as long as Tessa can remember, her country has been at war. When local golden boy Gideon Thrall is awarded a medal for courage, it's a rare bright spot for everyone in Tessa's town - untile Gideon refuses the award, claims he was a coward, and runs away. Tessa is bewildered, and can't help but follow Gideon to find out the truth. But Tessa is in for more than she bargained for. Before she knows it, she has stowed away on a rogue airplane and is headed for enemy territory. But all that pales when she discovers a shocking truth that will change the world. But is Tessa strong enough to bring it into the light?
