Across Five Aprils by Irene Hunt
5.0
I don’t have a lot to say about this book but I’ll say what I do have.
This book made me cry. Especially the ending. It’s just so raw and real. The story of a 9 yr old boy as he grows up over the 4 year span of the civil war. He has a brother on each side of the war, and not only does it make it harder for his family (they’re loyal to the north) but because one of their boys is a Reb, some of the townspeople hate (hate=burning down their barn and more) their family.
And than when everything was starting to look up, the ending happened. And that’s where I cried. It made their pain from that war feel so real to me. Read it.
Highly recommend this book! Short summary of my review that’s already short…
This book made me cry. Read it.
