Across Five Aprils

Summary: This is a top quality book for young students
Review: I used this book in my classroom for more than fifteen years. It helped my students gain an understanding of how war affects a family as well as a community and nation. It had all the things young students enjoy--a story about another young person, a bit of a love story :), some blood and guts, and a lot of adventure. As a teacher, I found the students enjoyed the book when I presented and reviewed it in an enjoyable and exciting way. Irene Hunt makes that type of presentation possible. My kids enjoyed it, and they really read it. Thanks, Irene.

Summary: It was a wonderful book!
Review: I can't belive what people are saying about this book. This was a wonderful book, and you don't have to be intersted in the Civil War to enjoy it. You probably didn't understand the book because you had no idea what the Civil War was about. It wasn't that deep, I read it when I was 13 years old and I understood everything in that book. It gives you insight into what the Civil War was like for families and how it affected their lives. I am very sorry for those of you who didn't like this book. It was wonderful and touching. And face it, if you didn't like you just don't really care about literature!

Summary: It was stupid!!!!
Review: This book wasn't all that great!! I don't think it should have won all of those awards!!! I had to read this book and do a project on it, and it was really hard because the book was confusing. I don't recommend this book to anyone. If you have to read it, then I feel sorry for you!!!!!

Summary: This book was very boring, you should have TIME to read this
Review: This book was the worst book I ever read. You should have A LOT of spare time to read this book, and should really want to read it. This is not a book I recommend for ages 10-15, it should be a book for older people, and have to be interested in the Civil War.

Summary: It was allright. I didn't really understand it very well.
Review: It was okay if you really look deep into it. I don't like the ending because it is a little sad. The kid who sent the review and thought it was stupid, here's a little tip. You didn't read it. You HEARD it was bad.

Summary: This was the most boring book my child has ever read.
Review: For an 8th grader this is way too boring for these children to read

Rating:
Summary: A unique opportunity readers to grasp history.
Review: The Civil War did not occur without frustration and a sense of endless struggle. Young adult readers must be willing to invest those very attributes into the reading of this American classic. It is not an easy read with pretty wrapping. Rather, it asks the reader to live those five historical years and reflect on his or her own development into adulthood.
