Anybody's Treasure
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Anybody's Hero is the story of Luca, a young Italian boy attempting to fit himself into the bustle of life in a new, unfamiliar environment. His struggles to gain acceptance resound with many a young (and old!) reader, and it is due to a sense of sympathy and understanding forged between Luca and the reader that his story is all the more touching and uplifting. Haislip, moreover, demonstrates a keen ability to weave a story that is both parts fiction and non-fiction, as the backdrop of Civil War Virginia serves to wonderfully contextualze Luca's adventures within one of the most important parts of American history. Filled with adventure, suspense, and fun, Anybody's Hero is a truly engaging read.
