<p><strong>Society of School Librarians International Honor Book</strong></p>
<p>Deborah Ellis has been widely praised for her gripping books portraying the plight of children in war-torn countries. Now she turns her attention closer to home, to the children whose parents are soldiers fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq.</p>
<p>In frank and revealing interviews, they talk about how this experience has marked and shaped their lives.The children, who range in age from 7 to 17, come from all over North America. They were interviewed on military bases, in the streets, in their homes and over the phone. The strength of <em>Off to War</em> is that the children are left to speak for themselves, with little editorial interference beyond a brief introduction. </p>
<p>Includes a glossary, a list of organizations and websites and suggestions for further reading.</p>
