(3) YA During Finland's 1939 Winter War against the Soviet Union, Marko, crippled by polio, volunteers as a messenger for the Finnish army. Marko's loyalty to his country, family, and friends makes him a hero. Grisly war scenes and fast-paced action fit the genre. An excellent afterword succinctly explains Finland's conflicts with Russia from the 1800s to the aftermath of WWII. Reading list, websites.
