Master storyteller Rodman Philbrick takes listeners on a colorful journey as young Homer Figg sets off to follow his brother into the thick of the Civil War. Through a series of fascinating events, Homer's older brother has been illegally sold to the Union Army. It is up to Homer to find him and save him. 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.

I wish the kids in my daughter's class could have read this book instead of "Across Five Aprils"! It is funny, insightful, tragic and an all around good time. Mr. Philbrick manages to portray the naivety of youth with the harsh realities of war in an accessible way for all readers. I highly recommnend this fun, face paced book.

The author's unique style makes a solemn, serious topic enjoyable for adults and youth alike. It's heavy at times, but the Twain-like tale keeps it from becoming burdensome. Really enjoyed this, and the narrator was perfect for the story.

Good mix of the serious and the humorous

I do not know if this is on porpoise, but the flag on the cover is not the official confederate flag it is the “navy jack” as seen on certain confederate ships. But also the real confederate flag looks quite similar to the Union Jack.

Great book

I liked how the narrator uses different voices for each character and kept them consistant. Always remembering which voice was for which. And the story was a combination of comedy, and heartfelt chapters the left me wanting to listen more.

Amazing story and great narration!

The book was recommended to my daughter, my friend. It was a great story, and I helped her learn more about the war. She did say that the voice reading the book sounded like the he was sick.

I wanted to preview this book (while listening during my running workouts) for my 7th and 8th graders in a reading class because of the historical content. The reader does an excellent job with a wide range of voices. The story itself has a blend of humor and dramatic elements. It introduces the underground railroad, the concept of spies in relation to the Civil War, and the climax centers on the battle of Gettysburg. Add in the fact that Homer, the main character, is an orphan, and you have the ingredients for a compelling story. A word of caution: many readers may need some background about the Civil War to support their comprehension of the whole thing. I liked it, and would recommend this for a family listen on a road trip or something like that.
