Across Five Aprils by Irene Hunt

5.0

I've read this aloud to boys on two occasions now ages ranging 10-13. They all like it. One listened at age 10, read it himself, then listened again at age 13 because he liked it so much. I think it is a beautiful read aloud. It makes the civil war period come alive. It helps the reader wrestle with war and hard questions. It celebrates reconciliation. It mourns discord.
