(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Amy June Bates. Tommy discovers that a soldier he befriended is a Yankee. The boy must decide whether to betray the man or to help him and a slave escape. Once Tommy makes his choice (it's never really in doubt), he risks his own saftey to do what's right. The whole thing's a bit idealized, but Tommy (who's based on Woodrow Wilson) is a compelling character.
