This was an AWESOME book!

I didn't want to read this book at first because I am bored by history, but I loved it! I do not agree at all with the people who said this book was not well-written. It was a GREAT book. I will probably read it again. Jeff and Leah must overcome a lot to keep their friendship strong during the Civil War. Jeff is a drummer boy for the rebels, along with his father and brother. Leah helps her father, who is a sutler for the Union. If you are normally bored by History, go ahead and read this book. It is GREAT. You will not be bored, I promise!

Excellent book for children

I bought this book for my younger sister, and ended up reading it myself! It is a great book for pre-teens and young teens. It teaches American history in an interesting way and gives the reader a perspective of the Civil War from someone their own age. If you're looking for a gift, this is a great idea for both boys and girls!

GREAT BOOK!!!!!!!!

You get to know two families during the Civil War. It focuses on the two teens Jeff and Leah who go through strugles with their friendship as Jeff's family joins the confederacy. It takes you back in time during the 1600's. For those who think Civil War books are boring, you haven't read this book!!!!!!!

A wonderful story of the effect of the Civil War

Torn apart by war and separated by hate not of their own hearts, Leah and Jeff must overcome the hatred between the Yankees and the Rebels. But through the separation, they discover a love that goes beyond friendship.
