This book is about a boy named Thomas and his sister Birdie(they were slaves)escaped their master and being rescued by a soldier named Henry and they lived happily until the battle had begun. Thomas was being hit on the chest by a bullet. At the end,Thomas and Birdie went to a school in Vermont,their teacher is Mary—Henry’s sweetheart.
My favorite sentence is:“Soldiers came up to Thomas,smiled at him,and patted him on the back,said that the Union army should start shooting skunks out of their cannons.
