Seventh grader Oliver, a Civil War buff and weekend reenactor, is partnered with two misfits--Ella, who is on the verge of failing all her classes, and Kevin, who is Oliver's lunch companion--to create a documentary about the wartime experience of a Civil War contemporary, and while they conduct research in local historical societies, collaborate on a script, and edit the film, they discover secrets about their Pennsylvania soldier and learn how to be friends with each other.

I really enjoyed this middle-grade novel about the American Civil War, friendship, identity, and hormones. My 11yo is also reading it, and it is a perfect message for him. He loves learning about wars, but with all the stats and dates he's memorized, he tends to treat war like he does sports, much like Oliver does in this book. As Oliver learns to see a more complete picture of the Civil War, I hope my son does as well.

Cute book with a cute kitty. I'm really surprised at how quickly he turned into a lap cat since his surgery. His teeth must really have been hurting him.
