Everything has been going wrong for Bertie lately.
No matter how hard she tries to do and say the right thing, Bertie keeps tumbling into embarrassing--and sometimes dangerous--situations. Her stern father has too many rules, her know-it-all sister won't stop teasing her, and her mischievous younger brother keeps getting into trouble. But what makes her really afraid are those Communist missiles pointed right at the U.S. As Bertie starts seventh grade in the fall of 1962, news of these missiles throws the nation into a panic and Bertie suddenly feels completely out of control. Can Bertie confront an ugly truth about herself and face her fears--once and for all?

Review Debbie's Homeschool Corner - January 10, 2010
"The novel was very well written, giving a realistic window into the mind of the main character. . . . An excellent introduction to an era that is seldom addressed in historical fiction."

Review Fenced in Family - January 7, 2010
"I liked Bertie’s War and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys historical or contemporary fiction. It was very well-written, the characters are fleshed out pretty well, and it drew me in from the first chapter."

Review Homeschool Reviews with Meredith Curtis - December 11, 2009
"Once again, I make a plug for historical fiction! There is nothing that works better for bringing a time period alive for your students/children than reading a story set in the time period."
