The Lovely War by Julie Berry
Review by Addison, age 13. Lovely War is a book about a group of four young adults who all get their stories intertwined. It's set during the World War and it is narrated by the gods.

It’s the same principle that time travel is based on. That maybe, just maybe, there is a chance that we could go backwards in time and watch events unfold before our eyes. Or jump forward and see all the possibilities in the future. Now, I’m not one for believing in coincidences but if the events from the... Read More »
