This is shorter, written earlier, and lesser known than Band of Brothers, but it is a very similar read. Pegasus Bridge is the story of the British glider company that was the very first to see action in the invasion of France. They had to capture Pegasus Bridge for it to be a success. Great read if you like WWII history.
This story is very comical. Ella aka Mia has a hard time accepting her uncle's new friend fregus. She tries her best to ignore me even though he's around all the time. The illustrations are brilliantly done. However, there is one illustration I feel pushes the envelope. I'm not quite sure I'd feel comfortable with the book in my class because of it. The illustration shows Ella getting dressed at the pool, and it's like a nude cartoon scene. Additionally, the relationship between her uncle Tommy and Fregus isn't quite clear. I did enjoy the read, but I do feel that this is a book to read at home so a deeper conversation can occur.
