Peck's On the Wings of Heroes amazed me with the in depth details.
The account of all the children at school bringing in rubber items was hilarious. It told about one kid in class bringing an old bike tire, and others bringing other ridiculous items as well. Almost all of the parent were in support of what the children were doing. One of the parents were mad because her son brought in one of her personal items.
One thing that I did not like about the book was that it did not have a lot of combat in it. This story mainly told what most Americans did during WW2. I thought that the book would have more action in it than it did. So that disappointed me.
My favorite part of the book was when they described Halloween. How the kids in the neighborhood would take sticks and place between the horn on the car and the driver seat so the horn would stay on. Or how kids would go and get candy, and how teenagers would go and play pranks on the older people.
I would recommend this book to almost anybody who enjoys reading war books.
