Summary: Not the most Exciting Book
Comment: The Fighting Ground is about a boy named Jonathan who wants to join the Continental army during the Revolutionary War. His father had recently been wounded in the war and was sent home. One day Jonathan decided he would just join without his father's permission. His group was going on a march to meet some Hessians(German Soldiers paid to fight in the war) that was coming to his town. They meet the Hessians and Jonathan gets scared and runs away thinking that they lost the battle. He gets captured by 3 Hessians coming to look for him and gets into a mess of trouble with following with some misfortunate and fortunate events. Overall the book was okay but not as interesting as I would like.

Summary: A Action Packed War Novel
Comment: Do you like action books? Then you should read the Fighting Ground. This is an action and heart warming story. When people are reading this book they just jump out of their seats.
This book sometimes made me feel really sad. The author of this book Avi, had alot of good supporting details in every paragraph. At the begining of this book it was somewhat a little boring, but towards the middle I started really getting into the book.
This is a very tender and action book. The major theme is to be informed before making decions. When Jonathan, a 13 year old boy, went to war without realizing what he would go through. Also Jonathan was not well informed to make the decisions to go to war. Jonathen's father was well informed because he went through the same thing.
Avi has a great imagination when he rights his books. Haveing a great imagination really brings the reader into the story. Avi is a talented wrighter and convinces the reader to keep on reading.
You will find this book irresistable if you love action. Kids of all ages would love this story. Dont miss this opportunity to learn about the war in 1778.

Comment: We had to read this 50 page "novel" for English. I don't know anyone who enjoyed this 5-week torture book. I enjoy Avi's stuff, but come on! Give me a break!! DON'T BUY THIS!!! -A disgusted young author who's expecting better things from this particular writer.
