rating:
recommended for: Revolutionary War Buffies.
This book was about a 14 year old boy that wanted to enlist in the army. He lied about his age to join. While in the army, he saw a lot of things a young boy shouldn't see, which ended up ruining his life from PDSD (Post Dramatic Stress Disorder(This is what I recall him having.))The book has no real resolution so it keeps you wondering. It focused way to much on the violence in the war as opposed to building up characters. I wouldn't really recomend it unless you are a die hard war fan.
