176 pp. | Boyds/Calkins | September, 2018 | Trade ISBN 978-1-62979-674-1 $17.95 | Ebook ISBN 978-1-68437-147-1
(4) 4-6 Borden's admiration for American Pete Seibert's skill as a skier and his heroism as a WWII soldier in the Italian Alps is clear, but her writing is uncharacteristically colorless. However, text laid out as free verse makes for extremely accessible reading, and archival photographs appear prominently throughout the spacious design. There's not a ton of information here, but back matter directs readers to more in-depth material. Timeline. Bib.
