Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 5-8-In this fourth book in a series set near Philadelphia in 1862, 12-year-old Thomas, an orphan with three siblings, joins the Union army to escape local bullies and the favoritism his aunt and uncle show toward their own children. Even in the army Thomas encounters bullies yet makes some friends and acquires a dog he names Blue. In his first battle, the Union army is defeated; Thomas narrowly escapes and deserts. Back at home he pretends to be injured to help save face but is discovered. He returns to his regiment with Blue where they participate in the battle of Antietam. The hardships on families and the horrors of war come to life. Related themes such as antislavery, supporting the troops, and preserving the Union are balanced with Thomas's personal problems and experiences. Some unresolved relationships will lead readers to the next installment in this series. Readers of Marty Crisp's Private Captain (Philomel, 2001) will enjoy this title.

Product Description
The Civil War was fought by men. Men started it and men ended it. At least that is what everyone thought. … With Civil War destroying the country, Mary Adams and Lynn Rhodes decide to help even if they aren't wanted. Mary joins an aid society and helps to heal the wounded, eventually meeting Clara Barton. Lynn joins her twin brother and disguises herself as a boy to fight alongside the men and boys of the Union army. Each of them faces different challenges as they struggle to be treated as equals. During the Battle of Antietam, these two very different girls, who choose two very different paths, find themselves forced to work together to not only save the country but to somehow take a stand for women in a war that was only for men.
