Summary: In the midst of World War II, eleven-year-old Hobie Hanson faces a heart-wrenching choice: donate his cherished dog, Duke, to aid the military. As his father fights overseas, Hobie hopes this sacrifice will hasten the war's end. But when Duke is trained for combat, Hobie's regret grows, threatening his friendships and testing his courage. With his father captured by the enemy, Hobie must confront the true meaning of bravery. Can he let go of Duke and hold onto hope? Will his family ever be whole again?
