    Theresa Breslin

    Hardcover (Gardners Books, Dec. 31, 2001)
    Powerful and moving teenage novel set during the First World; 1915 - Scotland. It begins with a group of teenagers from two families, friends despite their social differences, on a picnic on a beautiful sunny day. Mostly romance is on their minds, but the peace of the day is shattered by the sound of a plane flying overhead - an omen of how the reality of the war across the Channel is soon to tear them away from such youthful pleasures. All too soon the horror of what is to become known as The Great War engulfs them, their friends and the whole village. From the horror of the trenches, to the devastating reality seen daily by those nursing the wounded, they struggle to survive. They are luckier than some - all but one return home - but they know that nothing will ever be the same again. Remembrance is a powerful and engrossing novel about love and war, from the Carnegie Medal winning author Theresa Breslin.

  • Remembrance Day

    Gillian Clements

    Hardcover (Franklin Watts Ltd, Feb. 2, 2002)
    Great Events: Remembrance Day looks at the history behind the anniversary of the armistice of 1918 that ended World War I. It also looks at how the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month has come to commemorate those killed in all wars in the following years. Gillian Clements tells the story through a lively combination of text and illustration (including some speech bubbles, labelled maps etc). In this way she makes history child friendly and accessible but still manages to incorporate, wherever possible, primary source material (such as eyewitness accounts and documentary evidence).
