Private Captain is a very informative historic fiction book, which is set during the Civil War. It is about two children who go on a mission to find a soldier, in the midst of the battle of Gettysburg, and bring him back home. The language can sometimes be hard to understand, therefore I would recommend this book to a slightly older audience. Although the plot is fast paced I find that the story takes a long time to physically read. Marty Crisp did a wonderful job of creating an approachable story. Even though the book is set nearly 150 years ago you will still find the characters relatable in some way. So, if you enjoy adventure with a large dose of history pick up Private Captain and follow one determined boy, one pesky cousin a loyal hound and a dependable cow on their journey. ~Dr Seuss
