Voices of Ordinary Heroes is a compelling, well-researched book about World War II, a war that truly turned the tides of world history. Kelly Milner Halls brings this war up close and personal, through tales of average world citizens stepping up to fight, in whatever way they could, against the Axis powers threatening world domination. An important, informative, fun read. --Chris Crutcher, author, son of a WWII bomber pilot Those who won the Second World War have been called the Greatest Generation. In Voices of Ordinary Heroes, Kelly Milner Halls shows the reader how they earned that name. Each of the many stories in this book makes the heart ache for the wonder of the dedicated and selfless way they lived, and often sacrificed, their lives. This powerful book will help make sure a new generation never forgets the voices of ordinary heroes. --Trent Reedy, author of Words in the Dust, If You're Reading This, and the Divided We Fall trilogy Voices of Ordinary Heroes reminded me of the big impact ordinary people can have. The heroic stories Kelly Milner Halls shares represent people from a wide range of countries, races, and religions, and like all her books it's well-researched and compelling. Reading about these people, most of whom I'd never heard of, made me feel hopeful and inspired --Kris Dinnison, author of You and Me and Him
