CLOSED!!! The Blue Star Book Giveaway (5 Winners)

First off I must apologize for putting up a wrong book for a giveaway. I’m putting up the correct book and for those of you that already entered for the other book; I’m keeping your comments there for this book. Please forgive me for my mistake!

The book I show you today is another one you will truly enjoy! The Blue Star by Tony Earley is a sequel to “Jim the boy”, where you follow the main character Jim Glass now 17. Jim is a caring and wonderful farmer that you saw as a 10 year old in the previous book and now becoming a man.

Follow Jim on his path as he goes thru the agony of love and war. Torn between helping his widowed mother, his uncles and finding himself. The Blue Star is set in a time that is different from today but the struggles Jim faces are what many of us do when we come of age. You will truly enjoy curling up with this book.

From Publishers WeeklyThe small dramas of teenage love get caught in the crosswinds of a war in this sequel to the 2001 bestseller Jim the Boy. It's late summer 1941, and Jim Glass, now a high school senior, has an earnest, unshakable passion for classmate Chrissie Steppe. But as straightforward as his feelings are, the circumstances of his nascent romance are complex: Chrissie's family is indebted to their landlord, whose sailor son Bucky claimed Chrissie as his girl before shipping out to serve on the USS California at Pearl Harbor. Throughout Jim's fraught final year at school, he relies on the advice of his uncles, but after Pearl Harbor is bombed, they can't protect him from the war's toll. Questions of patriotism, sexuality and poverty weave their way into a narrative that's deceptive in its simplicity: the growing pains that Jim and his friends experience pack a startling emotional punch.
