A review by bethanymiller415
Mare's War by Tanita S. Davis

4.0

Tali and Octavia are not excited to spend their summer on a cross country road trip with their slow driving, cigarette smoking grandmother Mare. To ease the boredom of hour after hour in the car, Mare tells the girls about being a part of the Women's Army during World War II. As the novel progresses, the girls are more and more drawn into Mare's story, and they begin to realize that there is more to Mare than they ever could have imagined. I liked that the characters in this book are very round and believable having both good and bad personality traits. Great characters, good story, and I actually learned a few things. Very good historical fiction.
