The Things a Brother Knows by Dana Reinhardt
I really enjoyed reading this book after I read Walter Dean Myers book, Sunrise Over Fallujah. It reflects the frustration a family goes through after their son returns home from a war overseas. Seventeen year old, Levi is distressed over his older brother’s actions when he stays in his room for days and hardly speaks to anyone. He tries desperately to communicate with him. When his brother announces to the family that he is going to walk the Appalachian Trail, Levi knows his brother is lying and locates him on his way to Washington, DC. Then the mysteries begin to be answered. This is a beautiful reflection on the dynamics of the brothers’ relationship and the unseen wounds occurring to our servicemen and women and their families.
