New from Gordon Korman, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Restart, comes War Stories, a novel about what it really means to be a hero. The book follows a boy named Trevor as he discovers that there’s more to the story than what he’s heard his whole life about his bona fide war hero great-grandfather’s involvement in World War II. This causes Trevor to wonder about his great-grandfather’s heroism, the truth about the battle he fought, and importance of genuine valor.
