I'm sorry. I guess I wasn't clear in what I meant. The war issue is in Homework Machine. I was really surprised at the topics mentioned throughout the book. Definitely ones that make a person think about how they feel about certain topics.


I will have to check out the series that you mentioned though. We live near a former AF base that has a small museum. Several of the kids are very much into the military planes. This base still houses the refueling wing, so planes are often flying over and the kids understand that they are a definite part of the military involvement overseas.
