Les likes to run away, but he never makes it very far. Usually it ends with a trip escorted home from the police station. Today, however, Les got lucky. Today, on Les's eleventh birthday, he was hit by a car and broke his leg.The hospital was too clean and quiet to pretend he was in a military hospital overseas after a terrific air battle with the Nazi Luftwaffe, but a nurse gave him a goodie bag of supplies for his secret lab. And his trip to the hospital was ending escorted home by his perfect, older brother James. Les and his brother Charlie feel poky and worthless compared to James, but this put off facing mother a little longer. Plus James bought him ice cream and cake from the diner - because he probably wouldn't get any at home.And today he actually talked to James, told him he wanted to fight in the war and be a hero. But James was going to beat him to it. He told Les he was going to join the war just after graduation, and he and his dad would break the news to mother tonight. Suddenly, Les's birthday, even with all the trouble he'd caused, was going to be all about James. Victory on the Home Front is Les's story, as well as his brothers' James, Charlie and little Johnny. While his parents aren't watching, Les finds adventure. And trouble. After his secret laboratory inquiries lead him to tap phone lines and the FBI arrives, Les decides it's time for his great escape. Based largely in truth from family reminisces and the real-life brothers' wisdom, D.S. Grier has incorporated charming scenes, historically accurate language and details, and a young boy's troubles and escapades into a novel for middle grades kids, their teachers and parents, and anyone with an interest in life in the states during WWII.
