SHADES OF GREY

Ever since late 3rd grade I have been interested in the Civil War and found this book brought reconstruction alive. This is about a boy who's family is killed during the Civil War. When the war is over he goes to live with his Aunt, Uncle and Cousin. He feels that his uncle betrayed the Confederate cause and has very hostile feelings toward him. As time goes by and he learns more about his uncle and his family he sees his uncle's point of view and finds that the more couragous thing is to stand up for what you beleive in. A must read for anyone interested in the Civil War. A very true book with charecters you won't forget and a lesson that carries over even longer and deeper, that family is family no matter whaat they believe in.
