"On the Wings of Heroes" by Richard Peck tells the story of a young boy named a young boy named "Davey" in a small Midwestern town during World War II. As the war unfolds, Davey navigates the complexities of growing up, family dynamics, and the realities of life during wartime. With his father serving as a pilot and his mother working hard to keep the family together, Davey experiences the blend of hope and fear that defines the era. Through friendships, community spirit, and the longing for loved ones, he learns about bravery, sacrifice, and the importance of family and home.
