Across Five Aprils
by Hunt, Irene
Illustrated by Pucci, Albert John
In 1861, America is on the cusp of war, and young Jethro Creighton is just nine years old. His brother Tom and his cousin Eb are both of fighting age. As Jethro’s family is pulled into the conflict between North and South, loyalties are divided, dreams are threatened, and their bonds are put to the test in this heart-wrenching coming-of-age story.
