(2) 4-6 In 2006 seventh-grader Cassie's brother, the rock of the family, is deployed to Iraq. Cassie starts following thirteen-year-old Iraqi girl Blue Sky's blog--for a class project on Lois Lowry's The Giver--and finds it eye-opening to see the war from her perspective. The complexity of war is a challenge in a book for middle-schoolers, but Sullivan gets it right.
