Great way to teach empathy! |

My 10 year old and I love this series. This book is a great way for kids to understand the civil war and what it was about. It has opened up a lot of discussions. It has been somewhat difficult for her to understand some of the "old language style". We are reading this one together. |

This is a good book!! |

I really enjoyed this book! The reader can realize the tragedy of the Civil War, not through a Union soldier's eyes, but through Emma, a teenage girl struggling with the many changes she faces. Her diary speaks of her sorrow and joy, her anger and sadness with the war. Emma respects her family and most of her friends. However, she rarely got rebuked, which bored me a little. This is a great book. The author was good at making it seem like Emma is writing. Do not miss this Civil War tale! |
