Summary: A great book for Teenageers or readers of any age
Review: I had this book on one of my summer reading lists. It is a great book for teenagers and if this is on YOUR reading list, I surely suggest it. The book is pretty short and I finished it in one car trip in about 3 hours (and I'm a slow reader!) However, it does have some rather descriptive battle descriptions and should not be recommended for the squeamish reader. Also, if you are going through depression, it wouldn't help you because the general theme of the book is sad.
So, if you're looking for a short book to read that is filled with action, then this is definitely a book of distinction.!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A pretty good one!
Review: Charley Goddard wants to go to the Civil War in this historical fiction novel, Soldier's Heart, by Gary Paulsen. Charley is a Union soldier fighting the Rebels. Gary Paulsen shows the ugliness of war through one boy's eyes. I liked the book and recommend it to kids around 15 years old. It shows how a kid my age could grow up in the war and seeing people die and realizing what war is really about. It's not one of Gary Paulsen's best books, but it is a pretty good one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Soldiers Heart
Review: In june 1861 when the civil war began Charley Goodard had enrolled in the first Minnesota volunteers. He wanted to be a man. For his age he was still a young boy he was only fifteen years old. He hated the war he had no idea it would be so violent.

The main idea is that Carley thought war was going to be cool. But it was bad he didnt like to see people killing or killed. He didnt think anyone should see that kind of of stuff. He didnt like to be shot at.

Soldier's Heart by Gary Paulsen is a exellent book I recommend it to everyone. It had great details. The ending was really cool I understood it very well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It takes a lot of heart to have a Solider's Heart
Review: Soldier's Heart

Soliders's Heart was a very historical and depressing book. Its about the war and war is always sad and depressing. The book is a true story, so most of the events really happened.

I think most people from 4th grade to adult would enjoy reading Soldier's Heart , especially people who like history. Even though it doesn't have humor and is pretty serious, it grabs your attention from the beginning until the very end.

One of my favorite things in this book is the author's (Gary Paulsen) main idea. Which is to show people that war isn't glamorous, and that it's very miserable and depressing. The story takes place in a very important time in history, the Civil War. The Civil War has some of the bloodiest battles in the United States history.

This book is one of the best books I've read. I'd give it 10 stars out of 5 stars and if it was a human it'd be president because it RULES!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent middle school read aloud...
Review: I have many reluctant readers among my students. They loved this novel and could not wait to read each day. They groaned when I would have the class stop reading for the day! Eighth graders are hard to please, but they loved this book. They were anxious to compare this to their studies in American History class and find out more!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Survival!
Review: A review by Jaimie
This story is about a 15 year old boy names Charley. He lived in Winona, Minnesota, he hadn't seen but 5 miles each way. Minnesota was forming a volunteer army to go off and fight against the Rebs. You had to be 18 to fight and Charley was only 15. he wanted to go so bad that he lied about his age. His mother didn't want him to go but let him because he was so responsible. He has many encounters along the way. Read to see what happens and find out if he made it through all the wars! This is a book you wont want to put down!

The main character, Charley, develops really well through the story. I liked him, he was a good person who loved animals! As I read the story I got to know more and more about him! This character was very realistic and believable. This story was really interesting to see what the soldiers had to go through! I liked it a lot because I tend to like historical fiction books. So if you like historical fiction that keeps you going this would be the book for you.

I would recommend this book to any one who likes historical fiction and a book that keeps you going! I really enjoyed it. This book can be for all ages just depends what you are interested in.

Rating: 4 stars

Review: Soldiers Heart, By Gary Paulsen

Soldiers heart is about a boy named Charley Godard who lies to get into the Civil War to fight. Charley, although, had no idea what he was getting himself into. I recently read the book and I think it was about too much fighting. If you like the Civil War then this is a good book for you to read because it tells where the soldiers moved to and how the soldiers lived during the war. Charley Godard is a very brave, eager to fight, and willing person.
