The Great War

290 pp. | Candlewick | April, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-7554-7 $19.99
(3) YA Illustrated by Jim Kay. Each story here centers on a particular object from the First World War: a commemorative butter dish, a compass, the nose of a zeppelin bomb, among others. Eleven authors, including David Almond and Marcus Sedgwick, contribute stories of various strength and styles, but all succeed in conveying the loss, fear, and impact of war. Illustrations and background information for each object are provided.
