When Matt wakes up in a hospital after being hit by a bomb, he receives a medal called a purple heart. Although its a great honor, he doesn't seem to be proud of it. A memory of a little Iraqi boy named Ali is constantly popping in his head. Did he kill this little boy? Because of his brain injury, Matt cant quite pinpoint what happened when he and his buddy Justin got split up in the alley. Actually, he doesn't understand how he and Justin couldve gotten separated in the first place. Would he want to hurt Ali?

Opinion: 

Purple Heart was a very good book that holds adventure and heart. I would recommend it to middle school age and older. Some language is inappropriate for younger kids. Besides the language, I loved this book. Once I picked it up I couldnt put it down.
