This book centers around Frank and his family. He has an older sister, a younger brother who stutters, his dad who is a minister and his mom. Truthfully I was hooked when I came across this quote in the book-But for thirteen-year-old Frank Drum it was a grim summer in which death visited frequently and assumed many forms. Accident. Nature. Suicide. Murder.

Immediately I'm intrigued. But I also love Krueger's character development in this story. We aren't given all the details of his time at war, but Frank's dad was going to be a hot shot attorney until the war, and then he decided to become a minister. This impacts his mom greatly, even his dad says his mother thought she was marrying a lawyer but ended up with a minister instead. 

I just like the way Krueger writes, enjoyable book
