About this product

Product Information

A dramatic, witty Civil War tale from bestselling author Rodman Philbrick Master storyteller Rodman Philbrick takes readers on a colorful journey as young Homer Figg sets off to follow his brother into the thick of the Civil War.

Along the way, he encounters strange but real people of that era: two tricksters who steal his money, a snake-oil salesman, a hot-air balloonist, and finally, the Maine regiment who saved Little Round Top at the Battle of Gettysburg and won the war for the Union.

Almost perfect. They sent it out and I got it very quickly. Well packaged. Excellent price. They do good work as a seller. Every disc was clear of issues and played perfectly. Very happy overall. Only 1 disc was missing, but it was only the first 4 episodes so I'm happy, didn't bother contacting the seller because It's not a problem so they might be surprised to see that in the review, beyond that everything was great.

  • 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.
