World War II. Hitler is threatening to take over the world. Eddie Carl thinks America should stop him-its just plain right. But Eddies just a kid, and the farm in Ellisville, Illinois, is a long way from the fighting. Ellisville: where the big news stories are gophers in the graveyard and the new bank alarm. But then America joins the war and Eddies brother Thomas goes off to fly a bomber. Suddenly the war doesnt seem so far away. And Eddie faces more grown-up problems at home: A fire at the Strothers place, and his gypsy friend accused of arson. Grampa Rob, all stubborn and mean. Grama Lucy with her secrets. And that redhead Sarah, who definitely likes him-unless maybe she hates him. Somehow Eddies in the middle of it all, trying to figure out whats right. Let Thomas fight World War II. Eddies war is right here in Ellisville. Eddies War is a lyrical collection of prose vignettes linking Eddie, his family, and a small-town cast of Ellisvillians. Poignant and funny, this World War II story tells how a distant war affects the life of one boy in the Heartland.
