A good book about a girl during the Civil war:
"To avoid marrying a neighbor, Sarah Louisa Wheelock disguises herself as a boy and enlists in the Flint Union Greys, a regiment that becomes part of the 2nd Michigan Infantry during the Civil War. Sarah, no known as Neddy Compton, works as a male nurse and entertains the wounded soldiers until her real identity is discovered. But her talent for mimicry brings her to the attention of Allan Pinkerton, head of the Pinkerton Detective Agency. Pinkerton offers Sarah the opportunity to become a woman "operative". Her first assignment is to investigate Rose Greenhow, a suspected Southern spy. Suddenly Sarah is plunged into a world of danger and intrigue wher ethe simplest mistake could cost her her life." For younger readers... 9th grade and younger, but older people could definately read...

One of Ann Rinaldi's best. It is attention grabbing and a really fast read. One of my favorites of hers.
This is an amazing book about the Civil war and the effect of women spies.
Wow this book really blew me away
This book was pretty boring and you really don't get what is going on most of the time. It was not very enjoyable.
