Just sixteen, Jefferson Davis Bussey can't wait to leave his Kansas farm and defend the Union against Colonel Watie, leader of the dreaded Cherokee Indian rebels. But - exhausted, starved, and scared - he soon learns that there's more to war than honor and glory. And when he is sent to infiltrate the enemy camp as a spy, Jeff makes his most important discovery of all: The rebels are just men - and boys - like him.

Book Reviews (5)
I loved the book although I believe they could have saved certain character deaths for other characters and some not all, but that’s not a deal breaker. I would give this book a 3.5-4 stars out of 5. You could in some scenes and parts really feel how Jeff was feeling and you could feel also how hard some choices were such as staying with the union or joining the confederates . I would highly recommend this book to anyone in 7th grade who are VERY mature, I say this because of the language and other aspects in the book, so I would suggest this book mainly to high-schoolers
it was a great historical fictional novel and loved reading it.
This is a good book
all i have to say is its not so bad for a book about war. i didnt really want to start reading it because im not in to books like this but i didnt really have a choice. it turns out its not so bad and i kind of enjoy it.if you like war books than this is something youll love.
