Why read it?
1 author picked Uncertain Soldier as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This story has won many awards including the Geoffrey Bilson Award for historical fiction but I love it for looking at the German side of World War II, not the battle but the prejudices a 12-year-old Canadian German and a 17-year-old German prisoner of war face in rural Alberta. Karen creates compelling fiction that humanizes instead of demonizes “the enemy.”
From Sylvia's list on friendly, feel good historical fiction.
