In 1863 Pennsylvania, fourteen-year-old Tacy faces the horrors of the Battle of Gettysburg while trying to stay out of the way of her brother David, who is in charge while their father serves as a doctor in the Union army, and to keep her friend Marvelous, a free black, safe from rebel soldiers.
COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Not her best work. submitted by jfogart on August 14, 2014, 1:11pm My least favorite of Ann Rinaldi's books. I enjoyed it until near the end when one of her characters experiences what I think is a completely pointless death. An interesting take on Gettysburg from a civilian's point of view living in the town.
