1940s. World War II is raging. Facing what seems to be insurmountable odds, a nine-year must draw upon weapons of inner strength to win her own war.
The Second World War is raging overseas when nine-year old Carey Lindsay, has her own war to win. It was a time when children proudly participated in the War Effort and the fear of polio gripped every American community. References to American popular culture during the 1940s bring back a bygone era. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt provided courage and inspiration for Carey and her new friends. Like young people today, coping with isolation during Covid-19, Carey must draw upon weapons of inner strength.
"For any young reader faced with illness, either their own or that of a family member or friend, this is an important story. It is also a memorable and heartwarming book for those of us who remember the fear of polio during the epidemics of the 1940s and early 'fifties and the courage of an American President, who crippled by the disease himself, inspired other victims."
