Noah's uncle is a member of the "Phantoms," an elite group of military skiers training for assault against the Germans in the Italian Alps in 1944. Noah joins up, giving readers a you-are-there close-up of the action. Everything is forthrightly told--from plot to characterization to emotions--and the details of training are pitched just right for reluctant readers.
