War books at ten are where kids first meet the past at a serious level — evacuations, wartime friendships, the quiet bravery of ordinary children. Our shelf at this age is carefully curated: honest about fear and loss, without going beyond what a ten-year-old is ready to hold. Each one hand-picked by Hannah, a former English teacher.
