On the Wings of Heroes

Davy Bowmanâ€™s brother and their dad hung the moon. Dad looks forward to Halloween more than a kid, and Davyâ€™s brother, Bill, flies B-17s. Davy adores these two heroes and tries his best to follow their lead, especially now.
World War II has invaded Davyâ€™s homefront boyhood. Thereâ€™s an air raid drill in the classroom, and being a kid is an endless scrap drive. Bill has joined up, breaking their dadâ€™s heart. Itâ€™s an intense, confusing time, and one that will invite Davy to grow up in a hurry.
Still, Richard Peck is a master of comedy, and even in this novel of wartime uncertainty, he infuses his tale with humor: oddballs and rascals and boyhood misadventures alongside the poignant moments. This is one of Richard Peckâ€™s very finest novelsâ€”a tender, unforgettable portrait of the World War II homefront and a familyâ€™s love.
