Civil War
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Here is another book by Hopkinson, but this time a chapter book story for older elementary. This story is about a boy whose family is fighting in the Civil War and his personal experience with finding a runaway slave. The book contains interesting pencil drawings to illustrate the story. Besides the obvious bridge to Civil War history, the availability of multiple books by this author could enable an author study in this case.
Great historical fiction!

My kids love this series! The story is suspenseful and easy to read at the same time. I'm always looking for good books that will keep my son's attention. As a reluctant reader, my son needs stories with a tight plot and lots of action, and it's sometimes hard to find books he will like. But he really loves the Prairie Skies series. And I know it will help both my kids understand this period of history a lot better.
