Like nearly every Korman novel, War Stories has multiple points of view. This time, though, he sticks to just two: Trevor (the war obsessed great-grandson) and Jacob during WWII. Together the two points of view give a larger context to each location the family visits. In the background of the modern day story there is a group of protestors unhappy with Jacob's impending return. Their protests first online and then in person add a level of suspense and danger. This suspense builds against the literal danger and death of the WWII scenes. http://pussreboots.com/blog/2021/comm... Family Uhoria Labyrinth 33CC99
