Description
America has entered the Great War, and life is changing. Carl struggles to raise a Victory Garden in their backyard, while Edie tries to fix meatless meals and bake breads using less flour. Other changes are scary. Students are required to burn German books at school, and Carl and Edie are persecuted because their last name, Schmidt, is German. German-Americans are being beaten and thrown into prison, and even Papa has a brush with the law. Then Carl is given a chance to support the war effort by spending the summer working at a farm, his first time living away from home. Will he be able to earn the respect of the people he meets there? And when a murderous mob sets out to attack a peaceful Mennonite community, will he be able to warn them in time?
