(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Kevin Whipple. Timid Cory longs to live up to his family's heroic legacy in this novel of life on the home front during WWII. Cory's relationship with his soldier father--whom Cory creates a superhero comic for while he's overseas--is poignant, but the plot treads well-worn ground as Cory suspects someone of being a Nazi spy and discovers truths about his own ancestry. Reading list, websites.
