Fantastic story-telling. I cried at the end.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This is a book for all age readers. I picked it to read a few pages to grad students in my reading methods class as a tradebook that could be used to teach local area (VA/MD/PA) history, realistic way of portraying war, character development, or just a good read. Thank goodness I read it ahead of time--I cried at the ending. Beautifully told with uplifting ending even tho' the main character dies in battle (as he did in real life).
This was a great book.

Through suspense and and comedy this book portrays a realistic character. When you read this book you feel like you are right there. Charley seems just like the hundreds of young men who jumped at the chance to serve their country. Written by Edith Morris Hemingwy, I would recommend this book any day.
