My Brother's Keeper by Mary Pope Osborne

This book is about a 9-year-old girl, Virginia, who stays at a friend’s house in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania during the Civil War. She stays there while her Pa and brother Jed help their Uncle Jack hide his horses from Confederate soldiers. Then a great battle starts in Gettysburg. Will Pa and Jed find their way back to Virginia? My favorite part is when Virginia describes the battle. I think girls age 7-11 will enjoy this book. RATING: **** Simomichi
