  One WWII pilot's mission to lift the spirits of children living in war-torn Berlin in 1945 comes to life in this moving middle-grade historical account. After World War II the United States and Britain airlifted food and supplies into Russian-blockaded West Berlin. US Air Force Lieutenant Gail S. Halvorsen knew the children of the city were suffering. To bring a bit of hope, he began dropping chocolate and chewing gum by parachute. 
   
   
   
  What began as a one-time gesture of compassion turned into an official US Air Force operation. "Operation Little Vittles" grew, as more and more pilots volunteered to drop the parachutes, and donations of candy and cloth poured in from all over. This inspiring story of one man's contribution to the rebuilding of a country after war is a unique look at history. 
   
   
   
  Candy Bomber is an important and interesting addition to studies of World War II.

  The Chechi Kingdom suffered a severe drought. Although the monks chanted Buddhist sutra to pray for rain, not a single drop fell. Suddenly, three Taoist priests brought rain successfully. The king was overjoyed and made the three Taoist priests royal advisers. From that point on, they made Buddhist monks their slaves. An immortal appeared in the monks' dreams and told them to wait for the Great Sage Equal to Heaven's help. When the monkey met the three priests, he tricked them and prevented them from bringing rain. He also won other challenges against them. When the three priests were killed in competitions, the king came to his senses and promised to respect Buddhist monks and Taoists equally and recruit based on talent.
