Chapter Book of the Day<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My Brother’s Shadow<\/a>
\nby Monika Schr\u00f6der (Author)
\n224 pages<\/p>\n

Booktalk:<\/strong> As World War I draws to a close in 1918, German citizens are starving and suffering under a repressive regime. Sixteen-year-old Moritz is torn. His father died in the war, and his older brother still risks his life in the trenches, but his mother does not support the patriotic cause and attends subversive socialist meetings. Then Moritz falls in love with a Jewish girl who is also a socialist. How can he choose which side is right?<\/p>\n

Snippet:<\/strong> The day Hans left to meet his battalion, he got angry with Mama for swearing at the “damn war.” Hans said it was a honor to serve the Kaiser, and when Mama saw he really meant it she cried even more.<\/p>\n
