Naples, Italy, during four fateful days in the fall of 1943. The only people left in the shattered, bombed-out city are the lost, abandoned children whose only goal is to survive another day. None could imagine that they would become fearless fighters and the unlikeliest heroes of World War II. Here are children, some as young as ten, who take on the German army, armed with just a handful of guns, unexploded bombs, and their own ingenuity; children who are determined to defeat the advancing enemy and save their city - or die trying. Fighting alongside them is Corporal Steve Connors, a soldier sent out on reconnaissance, now cut off from his comrades and thrown into the fray. In its awesome scope and pure page-turning excitement, "Street Boys" stands as a stirring tribute to the underdog in us all - and a singular addition to the novels about World War II.
