Another great read by Alan Gratz If YA Historical Fiction is your jam then this one is definitely for you! You follow several characters through their recount of D-Day and why they each chose to serve and fight in this particular war. I will say, be prepared for a bit of graphic telling of what is going on when they land on Normandy, but it isn't all that bad in the grand scheme of staying as true as possible while also telling it in a fictional way!
