Do Not Forget Australia by Sally Murphy and Sonia Kretschmar

An excellent piece of narrative nonfiction, about two boys on opposite sides of the world during the First World War, their lives linked by one boy's soldier father.

I liked the way the story moved back and forth between France and Australia, showing that this truly was a global conflict, and showing that people who lived rather insular lives in the past had their eyes opened to people thousands of miles away.

I think the historical facts were woven in well, so that we see the boys survive the war in different ways and then grow up to see their world (for the time being) repaired.

There's extra information at the end for adults to help explain the situation in greater context.
