About the Book

It's 1943, and World War II is raging. 10-year-old Wesley and 14-year-old Charles are evacuated from the UK to USA. The culture shock is intense as the London boys adjust to rural farm life and have to learn new sports and customs, plus contend with racial segregation and bullying. As time goes by, the brothers adapt to their new reality and blaze their own trails. But just when Wes and Charles think they are safe, they encounter the very soldiers they were trying to escape: Nazis. Suddenly a foreign war is very close to home.

Review :
"Likable protagonists and a fascinating historical backdrop combine for a story well-told." --Kirkus Reviews "Serious issues of intolerance (religious freedom in Europe, racism in America, cruelty to German POWs) permeate the story without overwhelming it, making this a breezy and enlightening read. The occasional letters from the brothers to their father overseas are a nice touch, portraying an accurate kid's-eye-view of a terrible time in history." --Booklist "This historical novel would be a perfect fit for any collection seeking to engage readers in conversations around race, culture, and equality in America." --School Library Journal Praise for Under a War-Torn Sky "An emotional, action-packed gem! Elliott paints a picture of war that we don't often see, one that is away from the battles, showing life and death in a war-ravaged land. An engrossing thrill-ride." --KLIATT "A powerful debut novel of adventure and salvation. Readers, young and old, will be moved by this fine book." --Children's Literature "It's packed with action, intrigue, and suspense, but this novel celebrates acts of kindness and heroism without glorifying war." --Booklist "Elliott's fluid style is woven together with vivid historical details from WWII, appropriate for adolescents who seek suspense-filled adventures." --BookPage
