This book may be an appropriate novel on a number of dimensions. Some of the vivid descriptions could be read at lower levels because they bring the reality of scenes to students. This book is not the Stephen Crane novel, but a book about the novel, which provides an array of student or teacher supports. This book integrates quotes with support information, timelines, and photos. The actual novel may be appropriate for older students. The teacher may want to create a list of book combinations or segments of books that may be used together. What are 2-3 books that work well to teach the Civil War, for example? The teacher may want to keep notes on what books and activities prompt effective student learning. This book may be an excellent one to use to learn or test for knowledge of literary devices.
