Gary Schmidt has done an amazing job of researching this rich and realistic novel. Everything down to the color of the soldiers' pants is correct. This book moves very fast and gives the reader an idea of the origins of the conflict between the English and the Irish. The story of the hedgemaster is truly inspiring. I could only give it five stars, but it deserves many more.

For someone below the age of 13, you would have to know alot of vocabulary words. The book didn't have much action in it, and it was very confusing. On the positve side, the book was extremly realistic and fast pace. Though I dont think I'd read it again to be honest.
Understand the roots of the Irish/English conflist at last

Anson has heard tales of Irish rebellion from his family and willinglly and proudly, accompanies his father to Dublin on behalf of King GerogeII. When he actually lives in the country, meets the people and witnesses the King's justice, he comes of age. Anson becomes an independent thinker and resigns from the King's army. I wonder if a third generation Fencible would break with his family? Reminds me of Charlotte Doyle. Are these characters true to their times or politically correct for 1999? Again, Australia, the land of "transports", was not available to the English for "transports" for at least ten years after King GeorgeII reign ended. It is still a good read, full of excitement. I loved it.
