This is a list of books about children or young people caught in war - some of the stories ( in blue ) are suitable for older children. Some for teens or mature older kids, ten and up ( in green ). All Quiet On The Western Front and Slaughterhouse Five, although not about children, are also great and horrifying books about war for teens and young adults.

Any other suggestions are welcome and will be read and added to the list! Thanks for reading!
