He turned then to Jethro, who stood beside the counter, his body hunched together as if in an #effort to make himself as inconspicuous as possible - #QuotsyApr19

Day 1:

“Don‘t expect peace to be a perfect pearl, Jeth. … This is a land lying in destruction, physical and spiritual.”

Each day of April, I will share a meaningful and deep quote from a book with regards to April I have read.

I read this for my classic lit book club. For the record, I don't really consider this a classic because I had never heard of it before. The story of a rural southern Illinois family during the Civil War failed to engage me. My biggest complaint is the dialog that is spelled out the hick way it is pronounced. I really hate that. It really slows me down because I basically have to translate everything. Ugh.

DreesReads I loved this when I read it in elementary school! 7y
rubyslippersreads I remember always seeing this in my elementary school library, but I don't think I ever checked it out. 7y

A quiet little book tracing the changes brought to an Illinois farm boy and his family throughout the Civil War. Nicely written, with a good mix of narrative and historical summary.

I love having to teach books that I actually enjoy reading. I'm a sucker for a coming-of-age story and this one is set beautifully against the ugliness of the Civil War. Looking forward to discussing this with my class next year.
