Walter Dean Myers was interviewed recently by NPR, maybe because he just had an August birthday or maybe because he's a respected heavyweight when it comes to writing for teens. He's released two titles just this year, which makes about 70 titles all total. The Iraq War is the setting of Sunrise Over Fallujah a story told by Robin Perry, a young recruit from Harlem.
Myers son, Christopher, creates images with collage and photos, and joined up with his Dad on Harlem which was named a Caldecott Honor Book.

Sunrise Over Fallujah is one book I plan to read. I sure liked Myers' Fallen Angels about young Richie Perry's Vietnam War experiences. I hear that Robin is Richie's nephew which makes this a kind of sequel.
