Five for Victory

The Mitchells, Book 1

By: Hilda Van Stockum

Narrated by: Mary Sarah Agliotta

The five Mitchell children are based on the author's own family.

In the first of three books about their adventures, Daddy has just gone off to World War II. One of his final words to his daughter Joan is, "No dogs!" She would dearly love such a pet, but life is full and so many new friends - pets as well as people - join the Mitchells, so she hardly has time to think about dogs. The children form a club to do their part for the war-effort - first and foremost helping Mother, of course.

Humorous and tender incidents make the Mitchells truly unforgettable.

I love this story, It is so good! Five for victory is the best story I have ever read I highly recommend it

Cleverly spun story!

This is a precious story of 5 children (plus neighbors) who find amusement and creativity in the midst of wartime difficulties. Their desire to better the places around them is heroic. They also get into plenty of mischief to make the book humorous and amusing.

enjoyable!

very wholesome children's book written in an old fashioned sort of way of wartime as experienced on the home front.
