Crossing the Deadline: Stephen's Journey Through the Civil War

380 pp. | Sleeping Bear | February, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-1-58536-951-5 $16.99
(3) YA This fictionalized account of Union Army bugle boy Stephen's combat and prisoner-of-war experiences during the Civil War is unflinching in its depiction of the horrors he survives after enlisting at age thirteen. The tragic explosion of the steamboat Sultana, carrying thousands of Union soldiers home, provides the final calamity--one that's been overshadowed by Lincoln's assassination in most histories.
