A teenage history buff finds himself trapped in the Civil War Jake Branford has always felt that he was born 150 years too late. A fourteen-year-old Civil War nut, heâs happiest when heâs reading soldiersâ letters, exploring old battlegrounds, or trying on an ancestorâs tattered Union Army cap. Lucky for him, a mysterious film director is in town, working on a Civil War epic, and Jake stumbles onto the secret set. The film set is like nothing he has ever seen. The musket-fire, explosions, and uniforms are all perfectly accurate. Jake is in heavenâuntil it all gets a little too real. Heâs always wanted to fight for the Unionâand today heâs going to get his chance. War was selected by the International Reading Association and the Childrenâs Book Council as a 2000 Childrenâs Choice. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Peter Lerangis including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the authorâs personal collection. |
