Countdown

Deborah Wiles (2010), 400 pages
Audience: 5th Grade - 8th Grade
The year 1962 comes alive with the lyrics, photos, commercials, speeches, drills, and cartoons of the time in this extremely well written book. It weaves Franny's story during the Cuban Missle Crisis with her Uncle Ott's WWII losses that are very much a part of his every day, with all the other day-to-day happenings in her family during this historic time. First in the Sixties Trilogy.
