When thirteen-year-old Jack Elliot overhears the barbershop men grousing, he devises a secret plan to keep his oldest brother, Pete, from the draft. He believes that famous boys don’t go to war and that he’ll make his brother their small town’s biggest celebrity. Jack gets unexpected help when his book-smart cousin Frankie arrives in their rural Pennsylvania town for the summer. Together, they convince Jack’s brothers to lead an expedition to find a fighter jet that crashed many winters ago—the perfect adventure to make Pete a hero. But with a greedy developer determined to flood their valley, a beautiful girl occupying his middle brother’s attentions, a wild motorcycle gang causing trouble in town, and a disturbed neighbor setting fires, Jack realizes it isn’t just Pete who needs saving.This isn't the usual type of book that I read but I am still looking forward to reading it.
It's not one I would immediately go for myself but it sounds quite good!

I love that reading challenges nudge us into reading something outside our usual genres. I almost always participate in one or two a year, just for that purpose. This one sounds like it could be interesting. Visiting from Stacking the Shelves.
