My Opinions: I personally don't like historical fiction, but this book really hits the heart. It is a real life story about a boy named Charley. He is about fifteen and not old enough to go into the army, even though he has a very strong desire to do so. He lies about his age and immediately joins the army. He goes through a phase of boredom at the camp because his jobs consist of chores inside the camp instead of actually participating in a battle. Finally, the call comes and he taken through a luxurious trip to the battlefield. His first experience leaves him stunned. Yet he keeps going on especially with one man's inspirational words. This story definitely pulled at my heartstrings.
