Thomas and his sister Birdie run away from their cruel master to find themselves in the middle of the Civil War. They witness first hand The Battle of Gettysburg.
After reading three books in this series, it seems like the character is always an eleven year old boy who must be brave and full of integrity on behalf of a younger child. The author does not shy away from the violent nature of the topics and is graphic. Ms. Tarshis also shares her involved research and further information in the back of each book.
Highly recommend.
