Since Jamie can't fight in Vietnam, she looks forward to hearing about her big brother TJ's heroic adventures in the jungle. Meanwhile, she volunteers at the local Army recreation center and competes against her friend Private Hollister in a hotly contested summer-long series of gin rummy games. Instead of letters, however, TJ sends Jamie nothing but rolls of film, which the soldiers at the Rec Center teach her to develop. And when Jamie sees TJ's pictures, she starts to change her mind about the war. A 2008 Boston Globe-Horn Book Honor Book.
