"In this suspenseful psychological thriller...McCormick raises moral questions without judgment and will have readers examining not only this conflict but the nature of heroism and war." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)"McCormick builds the plot subtly and carefully with rich, spare prose." -- Kirkus Reviews"Gripping details of existence in a war zone bring this to life." -- ALA Booklist"Many of the soldiers in Iraq were not yet teenagers when this war began. What they and the children of Iraq are experiencing is not a political issue-it's a human issue. PURPLE HEART is a visceral and affecting portrait of their world." -- --Bob Woodruff, ABC News
