Brave Like My Brother
Brave Like My Brother | Marc Tyler Nobleman
3 posts | 3 read
When Charlie's brother, Joe, is called up to fight in World War II, he promises to write letters to ten-year-old Charlie as often as he can. It won't make up for not being there to help Charlie out with the neighborhood bullies, but it's all Joe can do. Life is tough for a soldier, and Joe tells Charlie all about it, from long hikes in endless rain and mud to the stray dog his company adopts. But when Joe is sent on a secret mission with the one soldier he can't stand, he will have to face risks that place their mission -- and their lives -- in grave danger. Charlie knew his brother was strong, but he will discover that Joe is more of a hero than he lets on. Will Joe's letters give Charlie the strength to stand up for himself and be brave, too?

Great chapter book for your lower level fourth and fifth grade readers! It is basically a story of two brothers, older one drafted and younger one at home, who are writing to one another. Takes place during WWII and is not graphic at all. Kids can relate to it. I will definitely be adding this to my library collection! PS - I have heard this author speak and he is a really neat guy. I could listen to him talk all day!

Recommended for young readers looking to try out epistolary-style of writing.
