Archie's War: My Scrapbook of the First World War 1914-1918 by Marcia Williams is the story of ten-year-old Archie Albright, who receives a scrapbook from his uncle Colin. Archie is a boy living in East London, England, who's in love with drawing and comics, and he's a got a best friend named Tom and a dog named Georgie. In the book he explains a little bit about his family, particularly his 16-year-old sister's interest in voting. Once talk about Austria declaring war on Serbia begins, Archie's house becomes divided with his grandmother and father in favor of Britain entering the war, and his sister against the war and eager for peace to remain. Once Germany invades Britain's ally Belgium, Britain has little choice but to enter the war. Archie's scrapbook includes a nice break down of which countries were allied with Germany and which were allied with Britain, and it includes copies of news articles reminiscent of the time period. Plus, there is a running body count, which is something that young boys would likely keep track of.
