As the world prepares for war, Conacher channels his energy into leading morale-boosting athletic programs for the Royal Canadian Air Force.

Fredericka of the Maquis

Isabel Townsend Pell, a young American woman staying in southern France during World War II, becomes a key figure in the French underground after choosing to stay rather than return home.

6 pp · humor; anthropomorphic-funny animals

Patrick, the pelican, struggles to fly after getting dizzy when looking down from the sky, leading to a series of mishaps—including crashing into a tree and losing his magic flute and peas. With help from his friend Woody the woodpecker and a surprising idea from a worm, Patrick discovers he can fly upside-down to avoid looking down, turning his weakness into a clever solution. The story follows his inventive, upside-down flight as he uses his flute and peas to outwit a squadron of hawks.
