I love everything Makos writes. I enjoyed the original of this book and the YA adaptation did not disappoint! Makos’ writing style is so engaging and is very capable of capturing teens’ attention and pulling them into the story. The inclusion of photos was nice and adds a lot of interest. While some teens may be interested in the previous version (intended for adult readers), I like that Makos has offered this version for young adults so the story of these brave men can be transmitted to teens as well as adults.

This title reads like fiction and is very informative and immersive. My only complaint is that it could us more pictures and should have even put them throughout the text to keep the reader interested. It's the right length for a teen interested in history and war that may not necessarily be interested in reading.
