Megiddo's Shadow I loved this book. It is definitely a winner and a great nominee for the Snow Willow Awards this year. This historical fiction book is loosely based on Arthur Slade's ancestors that fought in various wars such as the Boer War and World War I. The story begins with a naive underage prairie boy, Edward, deciding that he must sign up to fight in the war. His plans are to avenge his brother's death and kill as many of the Germans (Huns) as possible. He begins his adventure with the belief that war is glorious.
