      I liked it, although it was hard to understand for my 10 year old at times. It was a little scary for her. We listened to it in the car and she usually doesn’t get scared at these types of books, it your child gets scared easily I would recommend a different book for now. Very good book for me though!

      Gratz takes readers to 24 hours in Europe during WWII, specifically on D-Day and presents what went on from a variety of youth's voices in the area. The narration was done by a different voice for each teen/young adult and it made the book come alive that much more.

      This book ? was amazing ?! I loved it how like they talk about different stories but they put all the stories together in the end. It’s all super sad ? and very realistic. But it’s a very good book ?.

      Can you make more books about D-Day? Thanks. If you do. Bye. It was in a very important day in history and I’m glad you wrote about it because it makes people see that all those people wanted to make friends free from Germany.
