This book is great! It tells you lots about Civil War and what families had to live through. It is on friendship and depending on others. It is shocking and Lisa Klein did a great job.

I thought that Two Girls of Gettysburg was a good book. I thought that the ending wasn’t strong enough though. I would like to go more into the future and see how everything ended up for the characters. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes stories about friendship.
