<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Soon after Robert arrives at his grandfather's home in Rhode Island in 1942, he learns of a German painter living in the woods who raises the community's suspicions, and of the mystery his RAF pilot father left behind after fleeing his home.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The War At Home</b> <p/>Fear permeates the Rhode Island coastal town where Robert, his mother, and sister are living out the war with his paternal grandparents: Fear of Nazi submarines offshore. Fear of Abel Hoffman, a German artist living reclusively outside of town. And for Robert, a more personal fear, of his hot-tempered, controlling grandfather. <p/>As Robert watches the townspeople's hostility toward Hoffman build, he worries about his sensitive cousin Elliot's friendship with the artist. And he wonders more and more about the family secret everyone seems to be keeping from him--a secret involving Robert's father, a bomber pilot in Europe. Will Elliot's ability to detach himself from the turmoil around him be enough to sustain him when prejudice and suspicions erupt into violence? And can Robert find his own way to deal with the shocking truth about his family's past?<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Janet Taylor Lisle's books for young readers have received the Newbery Honor Award (<i>Afternoon of the Elves</i>), the Scott O'Dell Award for Historical Fiction (<i>The Art of Keeping Cool</i>), Holland's Zilveren Griffel, and Italy's Premio Andersen Award, among other honors.
