Summary: The Drummer Boy That Could
Comment: Charlie Skedaddle
Do you like the Civil War? If you do, you will love this transcendent book. Charlie Skedaddale is an imaginative, but factual, book written by Patricia Beatty about the life of a drummer boy who was part of the Bowrey Boys gang in the Bronx. He wanted to avenge the death of his brother who died in the Civil War as a soldier.
Charlie went to an enlistment office to sign up as a soldier, but he was told he was too young. They said that the only job for him in the Union army was that he could be a drummer boy.
In the line of battle, he saw his best friend shot down before him. He runs away towards the Appalatchian Mountains and thinks himself a coward. On his way, he meets a lady that he calls Granny. One day, while she out he takes on a panther and he finds out that he is not as mutch of a coward as he thought!
That is the life of a boy who could have been drummer boy which is marvolusly written. I recommend that anyone who likes the Civil War should read it!

Summary: Running away from the Battle of Civil War
Comment: If you like books from back in the Civil War, then this book is for you. Charley Schaddle is a twelve year old, New York boy in a gang (The Bowery Boys). The reason he is in a gang is because of his brother. His brother died at the Battle of Gettysburg, and ever since then, all he wanted to do was be just like him. Charley ran away from a fight and saw on a poster that there was an openning in the war. So Charley took the job. He became the drummer boy in the Civil War on the Union side. He felt like this is where he wanted to be until he saw all of his brother's friends get shot. Then he got really scared and did not know what to do. Should he stay or should he go??
To find more about Charley's adventure, read Charley Schaddle, by Patricia Beatty.

Summary: Brave Boy
Comment: Do you like thrilling books about the past? Then Charley Skedaddle is the book for you. When Charley was at home, he was very brave, because he was on his homeland. He knew everywhere to hide. He was getting in trouble by his sister because he was getting into fights. He always ran errands for his sister and her Fiancé, Micheal. He hated him. Charley had barely any fear. He was part of a gang. His real name is Charley Quinn.
Charley is sad because he misses his brother, Johnny. From the book, it sounds like they loved each other a whole lot. Johnny went to war and got killed.
One day Charley was walking by and heard a band playing a couple blocks down. He went over to see what it was. He saw soldiers marching and playing instruments. He saw his brothers friend there, Jem Miller. He wanted to go to the war but he also didn't want to go. Jem didn't want to encourage him to go to the Civil War, but he knew a perfect place for Charley, drummer boy. Is Charley going to go to War or is he going to stay with his sister?
