Gabriel is 11 and joins the army as a bugler since he is too young to be a soldier. Gabriel meets Orlee, a new friend who he starts to really like. He finds out that Orlee is the bugler for the confederate army and starts to feel conflicted. The illustrations are amazing and really help tell the story in a very colorful way. I really enjoyed this book and I think it is very powerful. This book is about an eleven year old's civil war account. The boy is named Gabe and at just eleven years old he sets off to be a bugle boy fighting for the Union, alongside his older brother Davy who is just 16. The boys lost their two older brothers in the earlier years of the war and used that as motivation to join themselves. Gabe happens to encounter the bugle boy for the Confederate army, and makes friends with the boy. Both boys watch the battle of Gettysburg unfold before their very eyes. This is a powerful book because at the young age of 11 these boys find camaraderie and kinship even though they are sworn enemies. The main theme of this book is no matter your beliefs, social or political stance, its the character on the inside of you that matters all along. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
