Summary: A Promise at Gettysburg. . .
Review: Nine-year-old Virginia Dickens is left in the care of Reverend and Mrs. McCully while her father and brother help her uncle hide his horses from the Confederate raiders and fight. She promises to keep a journal for Jed, her brother. Her family thinks she'll be safe but they are wronged when Gettysburg is ambushed. After the battle, she and her father find her brother in a makeshift hospital. The book ends as the town slowly recovers and Virginia hears President Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.
Mrs. Osborne has successfully creates individual characters, and she poses difficult questions about war and the waste of human life. There is a lyrical quality to several passages, and the author slowly builds suspense and release.Also recommended: All the Dear America Books

Summary: My review on My Brother's Keeper
Review: The book is about a young girl named Virginia that stays at her neighbors' house while her father and brother Jed, are at their Uncle's to help with the horses. We learn what happens when when the Civil War starts and she writes her thoughts and what she sees and hears in the diary Jed gave her before he left.
What I like about the book is how the author uses such descriptive words about the war and it seems like it's happening right in front of my my face. Also, I love what Virginia writes in her diary. It seems so true. Once you read this book you know what it feels like and what she's trying to say.
The book's theme I think is you can never know what's going to happen when your family is away and what might come between you and your family. I'd give this book two thumbs up!!

Summary: A young girl witnesses the Battle of Gettysburg.
Review: Virginia Dickens is an ordinary nine-year-old girl growing upin the sleepy farm town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, in 1863. She worries about her father and her brother Jed, who have gone to hide the family's horses from the Confederates. Virginia is left behind for her own safety, but she ends up being caught up in the battle and witnesses many horrifying events while growing up. I am older than the level that this book was intended for, but I still enjoyed it. This is a good book for fans of the American Girls series (which I liked when I was younger). It teaches kids about the events of the Civil War through the diary of a young girl readers can relate to.
