Jump Into the Sky by Shelley Pearsall

5.0

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Listened to it in the car, but when I got near the end, I used my iPad inside so I could finish. I am a sucker for good historical fiction, especially historical fiction that makes me feel ashamed that I didn't already know about it. I knew a bit about the Triple Nickels, but not nearly enough. I too thought the Japanese Firefly program sounded preposterous, but had researched it before it was revealed in the book that it really happened. Levi is a wonderful, admirable character, and I found his profound emotions tied to, "I'm leaving you" very emotional. What a wonderful, enjoyable way for students to learn history. The author's note at the end was very insightful as well.
