"War's never fun, and the boy in this book learns that the hard way, during the very harsh American civil war. At the beginning, he's thinking "adventure" and how he can help. He learns soon enough how wrong he is, and ages beyond his years to deal with it all. Many lessons in the book can also apply to today. The book left me wanting more at the end, which slightly surprised me, given the morose (war) material."
"A Dangerous Promise by Joan Lowery Nixon, continues the story of Michael Kelly. Michael was a member of the Orphan Train sent west from New York City with his 3 sisters and 2 brothers by their mother.
Mike was first adopted by some terrible people, but eventually he left that place and was taken in by Captain Joshua Taylor and his wife, Louisa. Mike lives in Ft Leavenworth, KS and when the Union Army needs soldiers, Mike decides (along with his good friend, Todd), that he's going to enlist. Trouble is, Mike is only 12. So, he runs away - and lo and behold, the Union Army takes him on as a drummer boy. Mike is a part of the Battle of Wilson's Creek (I know, what are the odds that I read a book about the Civil War with the battle having happened less than 20 miles from my front door?!). He gets wounded in the fight and the rest of the story is about him making his journey back to his family in Kansas. The story is called A Dangerous Promise because of a promise Mike makes to his friend Todd, a promise Mike will go to great lengths to keep.
It was a good story. I've read several of the Orphan Train Series before, but not this one. It was interesting to see another side of Mike's life. I'd definitely recommend this series to children."
