Frank is a soldier in World War 1, and he can't escape the feeling that he's just a 'cog in the machine'. He's not even sure why he's there and what he's even fighting for. The simple plot and muted artwork powerfully presents World War 1 from a soldier's point of view and definitely puts forward an anti-war message.
In their review of this book, Booklist said "Neither romantic nor sensationalized, this is a good title to introduce elementary-school students to the history of a war in which the great majority of ordinary soldiers on both sides had absolutely no sense of why they were fighting or who was the enemy." Very well said!
