Mare's War by Tanita S. Davis
 
The ideal summer for most teenaged girls would not be spent driving across the country with an elderly grandmother. However, for Mare and her granddaughters Octavia and Talitha, this journey provides the perfect opportunity for them to get to know each other. The two teens learn how a young African-American girl acquired the courage to leave home in a small Alabama town for life in the Women's Army Corps during World War II. Told in chapters that alternate between "now" and "then", Olivia and Talitha discover an exciting part of history that is not taught in school. This is a laugh out loud funny and unforgettable road trip.
