Twelve-year-old Stonewall Hinkleman's parents force him to participate in Civil War reenactments. During a faux Battle of Bull Run, a magic bugle transports Stonewall back in time to the real battle. There he must contend with a contemporary Confederate sympathizer who also time-traveled to change the war's outcome. Filled with historical details, the story is well written, fast paced, and often humorous.
