SUMMARY: Charley is only fifteen when he goes
off to fight the Rebs in the Civil War. The horror of what he sees and
experiences is deftly told by award-winning author Gary Paulsen.
REVIEW: This is a gritty read for middle and
high school students. I noticed there are lesson plans that have been
developed. I am sure this book would provide much fodder for discussions.
