A World War II Biography
History contains many fascinating facets. I had not known about combat ski soldiers!
Ms. Borden focuses on Peter Seibert, a young man from Massachusetts, who loves to ski. His skiing ability allows him to serve with the 10th Mountain soldiers during WW II in the Apennine Mountains of Italy. He is badly injured. His injury does not prevent him from continuing to ski and from pursuing his dream of starting and running a ski resort, Vail!
Ms. Borden shares Peter's story via verse. The information is presented in an engaging matter. Actual photographs and maps are included. Poetic yet informative!
Perfect for reluctant older readers.
*Highly recommend.
