(3) 4-6 Three linked novellas, each starring a different boy, begin with the secession of South Carolina and end shortly before the first major battle of the Civil War. Reeder effectively and uniquely couples drama and history (most successfully in the last novella) and introduces young readers to the relentless chain of events that led to our nation's bloodiest conflict.
