A riveting picture book about a little-known piece of WWII history where a troop of artists put on a traveling show of deception and misled Hitler's forces again and again.

During World War II, a 1,100-man unit known as the Ghost Army was sent to Europe with an important mission: mislead Hitler's forces as to the size and location of Allied troops so that those troops would have time to carry out urgent plans of their own.

This unit of artists, musicians, actors, architects, set designers, and engineers came together to construct "shadow soldiers" and put on a traveling show of deception for over twenty different campaigns throughout the war, using everything from fake radio transmissions to inflatable tanks to convince the enemy of their presence.

Sarah Glenn Marsh writes young adult novels and children's picture books. An avid fantasy reader from the day her dad handed her a copy of The Hobbit and promised it would change her life, she's been making up words and worlds ever since. Sarah lives in Richmond, Virginia, with her husband and their tiny zoo of four rescued sighthounds, two birds, and many fish.

Becca Stadtlander is a freelance illustrator and fine artist, inspired by the beauty of everyday objects, the comforts of home, and the lush colors and landscapes of far-off places. She attended the Maryland Institute College of Art (BFA, 2010) and currently lives and works in her hometown of Covington, Kentucky. Her work is featured on stationery, home decor products, editorial publications, and young adult and children's books.
