How can I be at war?\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt's 1918, and war is everywhere. John's father is fighting in the trenches far away in France, while his mother works in a menacing munitions factory just along the road. His teacher says that John is fighting, too, that he is at war with enemy children in Germany. One day, in the wild woods outside town, John has an impossible moment: a dreamlike meeting with a German boy named Jan. John catches a glimpse of a better world, in which children like Jan and himself can one day scatter the seeds of peace. David Almond brings his ineffable sensibility to a poignant tale of the effects of war on children, interwoven with David Litchfield's gorgeous black-and-white illustrations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Candlewick Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/12\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781536209860\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.60w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2020 pg. 65\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/30\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e508345 \/ War Is Over\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.1 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 1\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"David Almond","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36657714888860,"sku":"9781536209860","price":14.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_537496ed-c3db-42c7-9903-f1b800d73d09.jpg?v=1603891310","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/war-is-over-9781536209860","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
