Iron Thunder (2009)
Wortis, Avi
Historical Fiction
I would give it a 4/5
Well this book starts around a young 13 year old who is hired to help on a secret project. Which is to be an assistant of the Monitors inventer. Which makes him a target for Confederate spies who will try to bribe him for information and he and his family need money bad.
A big theme in this book is Loyalty. Because this 13 year old who's family needs a lot of money but dosn't give information for a lot of it.
Iron Thunder is a realistic novel about a young boy who's dad died to the Confederate's. This book gives a good perspective of how life might feel like in that position.
This book is for 8+ year olds and up.
I would recomend this book to any 1 that is intrested
I read this book for an assignment in school. I thought it was great and I liked it a lot. It was a quick read but none the less I liked it.
Publishers Weekly: “The spectacular clash with the Merrimac caps this intense and action-packed account of a battle that changed the course of naval warfare. Illustrated with period engravings, this is gripping historical fiction from a keenly imagined perspective."Publishers Weekly, 2007, starred review Banks Street Best Books of the Year, 2008 Beacon of Liberty Award, 2008, nominee William Allen White Children's Book Award, 2009, nominee |
