Across Five Aprils by Irene Hunt

5.0

Newbery Challenge 143/412. This was a fantastic, fictional overview of the Civil War told from the perspective of a young boy coming of age. The story covers all of the years of the war...across all 5 Aprils. This would be a great book to read while studying the period. It is authentic, informative, and not too gruesome for young people. Highly recommend.
