Overview
"""In 1944, the whole world was a war and my uncle was drafted to fight against Hitler's German army. When school started at Windsor that September, I never expected to fight my own war against Rusty--the bully, and Gertie, the World's Worst Human. When a school-wide war broke out, fought with rocks and nasty words, even my teacher joined in. With my life a combat zone, my mind turned into a battleground of worry. My uncle's letters stopped coming and I worried he'd come home in a flag-draped casket. I worried about Lavender, who sometimes cooked snake for supper. What was that family hiding in the woods behind the school? Finally, having made one horrible decision after another, I feared I'd be court-martialed and grounded for life when my parents found out what I did...or worse!"" Follow the adventures of Sally, a spunky 12-year-old girl, humiliated by failing behind a grade and relentless bullying at school. Making choices that go against her conscience, she struggles to survive her battles. Somehow, her personal war at Windsor School seems worse than World War II raging across the ocean."
