I thought this was very well done for such a miserable topic. I wish that it was longer so we could get to know the characters better, or that she focused on one character, but I found it fascinating that Tillie did exist and what had inspired the Miller to write the book in the first place. This is a great book for kids to get a little bit of Civil War history without it being too graphic.
