Divididos por la guerra: la Guerra de Vietnam

It’s 1969, and America is in the middle of an unpopular war. Cesar Cruz has just returned from Vietnam and wants to disappear into real life. Fourteen-year-old Kelsey’s family is at a boiling point. Her older brother is approaching draft age, and her mom is leading anti-war protests in San Francisco–angering her father, a proud Korean War vet. At school, things are just as crazy. Kelsey’s history group must ace the big project, but her archrival is working hard to see Kelsey crash and burn. When Kelsey sets out to find a recent vet to interview for the project, her life suddenly intersects with Cesar’s. What she learns could change everything she believes in. Includes historical background information, websites to visit, author interview, and a writing prompt.
