If you thought you were confused when you graduated from high school, try it when you think you’re reincarnated from your great-great uncle and the love of your life has been dead for over 100 years. Wills Harrington recently of Eton College is trying to find himself, both his past and present self, during his gap year in Rouen, France. Why Rouen? That’s where his great-great uncle died during World War I. The great-great uncle Wills believes, well, that he’s quite possibly him or something like that. Oh, and Wills dreams about a beautiful nurse, he’s trying to find her too. Charlie Longley a senior in high school from St. Louis, Missouri convinces her friends to join her at a study abroad program in Rouen. Why Rouen? That’s where Charlie can explore her interest in World War I while learning French, simple enough. Charlie starts dreaming about a hot dead guy, she assumes he’s dead because he’s a soldier from World War I; if he’s not dead he’d be super old. Charlie’s dreams of World War I feel like memories and start messing with her head. Charlie and Wills meet and it’s electric, really electric; Charlie gives off static-electricity that literally knocks Wills off his feet. Charlie and Wills try to reconnect in the 21st century while dealing with frenemies, a stalker, and their electric connection. Oh, and they need to get it all figured out before Charlie heads back to the States.

It is 1914, and Henry Anderson is watching the world descend into war. Like many young men at the time, he is fascinated by the idea of warfare and glory. Henry enlists in the military against his parents' wishes and throws himself into the life of a British soldier in Flanders. But it is far from what he expects: Henry's fantasies of righteous battle fade into the grim reality of gruesome death and shell-shock. He and his fellow soldier Jacob must help each other survive the cruel trenches, but it is no longer certain that either of them will return to England alive. Told in journal entries and letters from Henry's sister Elizabeth, this reveals the realities and horrors of World War I, on the battlefield and in the homefront. I wrote this for a history project while studying WWI and got way too involved in it, so here you are. WARNINGS: gun/bomb/gas-related violence, war descriptions, graphic death, suicide attempt. I will mark specific chapters with warnings and give summaries of those chapters on the following one. These may not be complete, so if a chapter is not marked and should be, please comment to let me know. Written in 2019 (age 15).
