Sunrise Over Fallujah

This week's pick is Sunrise Over Fallujah by Walter Dean Myers.

In the winter of 2003, Robin Perry is headed to Iraq. After 9/11 Robin knew he needed to serve his country, despite his father's reservations. As part of the Civilian Affairs unit, he doesn't expect to see much fighting. In fact, he's hoping there won't be hardly any fighting at all. But as time goes on, Robin begins to realize that what is happening in Iraq is much more complicated that what he expected, and that inevitably, what is happening can only be called war.
