England, 1914. Poppy is fifteen, beautiful and clever, but society has already carved out her destiny. There's no question of her attending more school; it's too expensive and unsuitable for a girl. Instead, Poppy will become a servant to the aristocratic de Vere family . . . and bury her feelings for their youngest son, Freddie. It doesn't matter that Freddie seems to have fallen just as hard for Poppy. He could never marry a girl like her. But the set path for Poppy's life is irrevocably altered when it becomes clear that the war isn't going to be over soon. The chains of class, wealth, and her gender no longer matter--England needs every able bodied person to serve in battle in some way. Which, for Poppy, means volunteering on the front lines as a Voluntary Aid Detachment nurse. As she experiences what people are capable of--the best of humanity and the very worst--Poppy will find an unexpected freedom and discover how to be truly her own person.

@Kaye in my #jb note to you, I talked about the poppy shop I visited in Normandy three years ago. This photo showed up in my Facebook timeline, so I wanted to share the pix. This French woman is the shop owner and artist who designed all these poppies.

Kaye Thanks so much for sharing the photo ❤️ look at all those beautiful poppy- decorated items. 🌺 6y

I enjoyed this YA novel set during WWI so much that I immediately went out, bought the sequel, and read it in one day. It reminded me in the best of ways of Eva Ibbotson's books. Also, this would be a great book for Downton Abbey fans.

Some of the books I'm reading to commemorate WWI's centennial years. These are perfect for younger readers.
