  • Another Rodman Philbrick hit

    Somehow Rodman Philbrick manages to pluck the heart strings of children and adults alike. My wife and I have bought Philbrick's books for our school library, and reading just one will get you and your kids hooked. Philbrick's books always have a great message, and this one is no exception. Homer sees the civil war from the stand point of a child from the south, and his search for his brother brings him into the conflict in unusual ways and opens his mind to a new way of thinking. Philbrick's engrossing story, like always, creates empathy and promotes tolerance, and as always, there is a clear moral message mixed in with the everyday musings of the main character.
