"Songwriters. Codebreakers. Intrigue. Romance. Jingle Boys explores a fresh WWII story I've never before heard. At once surprising, heartbreaking, and great fun, Williams-Dalgart's unique characters bring this relevant historical fiction to vivid life. But beware: addictive jingles might get stuck in your brain."
