Description

World War II is a heavy topic for elementary-aged students. How can you get them interested, without getting too mature? With language they can understand, and themes that are exciting but skip the gory details of war, that’s how! Read about the intrigue, with real people and places, of undercover operations. Along the way, vocabulary is highlighted in bold print. Readers use the handy glossary in the back as they read and grow their language skills (sabotage! Enigma! Cipher!) through the lens of history.
