Books by Blei - Historical Fiction: Countdown by Deborah Wiles


Countdown
by Deborah Wiles

Recommended by:  Miles C.
Frann is an eleven-year-old girl who is in one of the most difficult ages ever. It also doesn't help that a war is going on. This book is set in 1962, during JFK's presidency. When Russia sends missiles at Cuba, Frann's whole world turns around. While all of this is going on, her school life could be going a little better. When President Kennedy announces about the attacks on Cuba, the whole world becomes scare. Read this book to see how she will overcome her troubles. My favorite part is when Frann's uncle Otts wipes his face with a handkerchief and she says, "are you waxing yourself?"

This book was: A very fun way to learn.

I would recommend this book to: History freaks.

I rate this book:
