review 1: Wait, is that by the same person who wrote the Hunger Games? Yep. Suzanne Collins again shows why she is an amazing author when she writes this short story about her father being in Vietnam. It's easy for everyone to understand, and there are definite elements from the Hunger Games in it. This 2013 book shows that even with this short story, Collins is able to capture multiple feelings of human emotion.
review 2: Can you give a book zero stars? This book was mistakenly pulled off the shelf from the library on our last visit. I guess I should have looked at it a little closer before bringing it home. This is in no way meant for a child of 5 or 3 to have read to them!! Why this is a children's book is beyond me. I am not insensitive to the fact that there are
... more millions of children out there with parents in the military, however, this is not meant for them or anyone else. If you want to write a book about your traumatic experience when your father went to fight in the Vietnam War (in 1969!) then you should write a book for adults. I think this book is completely inappropriate for it's suggested age group!! less

Liked how this unfolded. Father is off in Viet Nam; young daughter knows nothing about it.

Suzanne writes about the year she was home while her father was in Vietnam.
