Reviews:"This powerful reading (5Q - hard to imagine it being better),
a must for high school students, offers an interesting comparison to wars fought
today while also illustrating the universality of war and its never-changing effects
on family and friends."
- VOYA, February 2003 "Narrator
Bregy portrays the distinctive voices and phraseology of an earlier era, along
with gentle humor and the reality of war. Bregy also projects a sense of wonder
as he narrates the splendid text. Hunt and Bregy add an outstanding audio volume
to American historical fiction for young people.
 Earphones
Award, AudioFile "...an outstanding recording of this Newbery Medal
Honor book - capturing all the emotion of a country torn apart by the Civil
War..."
- Kliatt "Bregy adopts an appropriately boyish
tone and compels readers to hear young Jethro Creighton's account of how the horrifying
events of the Civil War changed life on his family's Illinois farm, even so many
miles from the front lines."
- Publishers Weekly ..a valuable
addition to libraries."
- School Library Journal "A
fine recording of an award-winning title...harmonica interludes and comments by
the author provide atmosphere and context."
- Booklist SYNOPSIS:This
compelling classic of a boy's coming of age during the Civil War is based on stories
the author's grandfather told her about his own life. Available for the first
time in unabridged audio, this production should be a powerful tool enabling students
to engage with this complex and important novel. Great for family listening.
