This is a great book! I am so sad that it is over. I am trying to look for The Minute Boys of Green Hill................I loved it so much. My Mom made me read it and after the first 20 pages I knew that she was right!!!!! Once again my Mom was right!!!! (just kidding) I would recommend this book to ALL kids..........boys and girls. It was kind of gross. And also, it was kind of sad. I usually do not like sad books, but this was balanced!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My boys and I enjoyed this book. Literary critics will slam it for variosu reasons including the fact that it follows a fairly clear pattern. But ti works well as a fun, adventurous story that along the way encourages character and teaches about this period of history. We commend this book.

This is a excellent book for young people 9 to 12. Gives them a idea of what it was like in the Revolutionary War

As an author of books on Bunker Hill, for adults and kids, I was pleased to find this reprint of an 1899 children's novel. Unlike many others from that time period, it is easy to read. If you don't mind the author referring to the central character as "the youth" and "the lad" you can enjoy reading this book. Though not as fast paced as modern children's novels, it succeeds in its goal of showing how teens in 1775 can have adventures. Most of the book is not about the battle.
