Saddleback Educational Publishing has found a niche with their high/low readers. Marketing to older students and adults, this book is high interest and low reader level. This particular book in the series is about Vietnam. It tells the story of twin brothers, one who can't wait to fight for his country and the other who disagrees with the U.S. involvement. The colored images throughout the book match the storyline giving continuity and textual help to the reader. The books topic, and those of the series, are definitely geared for the more mature audiences and not for beginning primary students learning to read. The size of the book is a plus too, not too many pages and also the dimensions of a paperback novel so as not to draw attention that it is a high/low reader. Commendations to the publisher! Target audience: 9th-Adult.

I think this book was a good book that had facts about the war i never thought of before. And it showed the view points of the marine. And how everyday he was hiding and patrolling in the jungle One day something happened that eventually lead to their capture. I think the book was very good but, i can not go to far into detail without giving the whole book away.

This easy to read book is a fictional story of a Marine during the Vietnam War. The text includes actual photographs from the time period and offers younger readers and introduction to the realities of war.

just a book I picked up at the library whilst I was killing some time in town only 46 pages but tells the story of the Vietnam war from a marine point of view in a poetic way.
