When they get to the hill, where they are going to attack, each group of soldiers begina shooting. Jonathan, afraid of being shot, runa into the woods. Three of the enemy soldiers follow him and capture him.

If you like historical fiction, and exciting plots, then The Fighting Ground will be a book you will enjoy.

The Fighting Ground is about a thirteen year old boy, Jonathan, who learns to handle a gun during the Revolutionary War. Someone comes to his village and says, "The Hessians are coming." The villagers gather a small party of people and Jonathan goes with them taking a gun borrowed from the bar owner. This is a story about his adventures in battle.

I recommend this book to people who like stories about war that are not too bloody.
