The good war / Todd Strasser.
There's a new after school club at Ironville Middle School. Ms. Peterson is starting a video game club where the students will be playing The Good War, a new game based on World War II. They are divided into two teams: Axis and Allies, and they will be simulating a war they know nothing about yet. Only one team will win. But what starts out as friendly competition, takes an unexpected turn for the worst when one player takes the game too far. Can an after school club change the way the students see each other-- and how they see the world?
