(2) YA During WWII, fourteen-year-old Jubal Shoemaker's older brother decides to register as a conscientious objector--a decision that reverberates throughout their small Pennsylvania town. The many voices in the novel offer various perspectives of the conflict. Jubal's earnest quest to define himself is solidly placed within a year of turbulence for his Quaker family, a particular experience of the war infrequently portrayed.
