Cory Woodford, aka &ldquo;The Kid&rdquo;, is determined to live up to his intimidating family legacy of bravery. While his father is off fighting in World War II, eleven-year-old Cory and his friends spend the summer building go-carts, drawing comics, playing baseball . . . and tracking down Nazi spies. Right and wrong are more complicated than in Cory&rsquo;s beloved comics, and he and his friends soon learn that the world isn&rsquo;t as black and white as they thought. In an age when friendships are deep and complex, Cory makes mistakes and hurtful decisions. Based on the author&rsquo;s personal experience and research, <I>Woodford Brave</I> is a deeply satisfying novel of summer and friendship, but also explores what it means to be a son, a friend, a neighbor&mdash;and truly brave.
