DeCamillo knows how to tell a story for children and this was her first (2000) and received a Newbury Award. But a problem is her heroine, a delightful kid, when asked, says she know what the Civil War was about: "slavery" and a nice lady who befriends her adds "but also about States' Rights and money." And there is more: a description of the bad Yankees and good Rebs. The only "States' rights" the Civil War was about was the right to own slaves, so I can't recommend the book.

kid's book
I am recommending this book because it is the 1st chapter book my son read. It is a book that he read on his own and according to him it was a great book about a girl and her dog. He started reading it and finished it the next day. I was impressed because he usually is not interested in reading.
