(3) 4-6 An unlikely pair of seventh-grade misfits, Oliver and Ella must research and make a history-project documentary about Civil War soldier Raymond Stone. Oliver's lunch buddy Kevin assists as they unravel the mystery surrounding this (fictional) young soldier who never saw battle and died of dysentery at Gettysburg. The engaging narrative explores tween relationships and emphasizes that heroism has many forms beyond courage in battle.
