Who Was That Masked Man, Anyway?
This children's story reads like a radio script in book format. Frankie, who is eleven is
the unforgettable protagonist who would be a soap opera groupie today,
but in the 1940's he is one of the many who were so enamored with
radio programs like "The Shadow", "The Lone Ranger", "The Green Hornet"
etc. That they lived their lives as though it were another show.
Omitting he said and she said this presents the real conversation
of kids. In the process we are not only entertained but learn about the
social actions of the day, reactions to W.W.II and get insight into
Frankie's soldier brother's response to war and heroism. A read aloud
must!
