Title:  An Island Far From Home
Author:  John Donahue
Reviewer:   Billy W. '10
Are you a Civil War fan? Then this book is for you. It is about a boy whose uncle is an officer at a jail full of confederate soldiers. The boy lives in Boston with his mother. He starts writing to one of the confederate soldiers, who is about his age. He doesn't tell any of his friends because he thinks they might not want to be his friend anymore. But one night he tries to sneak a way to the island and that's when the trouble starts. I recommend this book to anyone who likes daring and exciting books.
