Summary: The Winter Hero by James L. Collier, Christopher Collier
Comment: The Winter Hero was narrated by Justin Conkey, a 13 year old boy who wants to be a hero. His father was killed in the Revolutionary War, and his sister's husband was a Revolutionary War hero. This story takes place after the Revolutionary War in 1787. Farmers were angry about the taxes the Boston government made them pay, so they started a war against the government. This war was called the Shays' Rebellion. Justin wants to fight in the war, but will he become a hero?
This book was very inspirational to me because a boy my age wanted to fight in a man's war.Most kids his age in the United States today don't have as many rasponsibilities as Justin did then. I admire this character. The story was like a history lasson because I already knew about the Revolutionary War, but I didn't know about Shays' Rebellion. I strongly recommend The Winter Hero to people who like action, suspense, and history.

Summary: REALLY REALLY GOOD!
Comment: This is a delightful book of Shay's Rebellion. Personally, I knew very little about this period in history, but after reading this book I have gained a lot more knowledge-but not in a text-booky sort of way: it's interesting reading. This is a very exciting story about Justin Cooney who wants to become a hero. He missed his chance in the Revolutionary War, because of his age, but now, in Shay's Rebellion, he gets a second chance to become a hero.
