(2) 4-6 Eleven-year-old Jeremy DeGroot itches to join the Union forces and "die gloriously for his country." Escaping indentured servitude, Jeremy finds a position as a drummer boy. He also realizes that, despite the heroic songs, fighting is anything but glorious. Multifaceted characters support this readable, compelling adventure that, like too many wars, offers neither easy answers nor tidy closure.
