Bought the EBook so that my son could highlight parts for his class. but none of the page numbers or page breaks are the same as the print book. So this Ebook is completely unusable. Trying to down load the pdf version only ended in repeated errors..... Very frustrating.

This is an astonishing book! It has lots of details in these children's lives. It also has great details about what happen in and out of the war. A must read! 😆
