April Morning by Howard Fast

I was delighted to find this at a used book store. I had read it about 40 years ago when I was in my early teens. I loved it then and enjoyed it more now. The writing is captivating. It is written from the viewpoint of a 15 year old boy who finds himself caught in the midst of the battle of Lexington at the start of the American Revolution. It takes the reader along with him through a 24 hour period as he is forced to leave his childhood behind and, far too early in his life, grasp the reins of manhood .
