Book Review: Don't You Know There's a War On?

Don't You Know There's a War On? is a novel by Avi. It is about a boy named Howie who is growing up during World War II. When Howie finds out that his teacher, Ms. Gossim, is going to be fired simply because she is going to have a baby, he decides to entervene and tries to help her.

I enjoyed this book because it was quick and easy to read. The style of language used in the book helps you imagine being in New York, where the story takes place, in the 1940s. Howie's compassion towards others inspires me to have compassion on others as well.
