SCHOLASTIC 2011
Historical fiction, action
Age range 11-18 There is quite a lot of blood and a disturbing scene in a make shift hospital. Reading level grade 5-6.
Will at the battle of Gettysburg is an action packed war book about Will, a boy living in Gettysburg. Will dreams of being a drummer boy in the army. But when war does come, it is not like he expects. Will does many things, and meets an unlikely friend. But will he survive????
I like it when will meets Mr. Lincoln because the speech he delivers is amazing.
It makes me feel sad to think that a war was fought over slavery.
I really liked that Will made friends with a soldier on the other side.
I thought it had an o.k. story but it was too bloody.
I rate it 5 out of 10WRITTEN BY: WN, 7/12/2014
