\u201c<\/em>Summer Spy\u00a0is a terrific Civil War yarn.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>\u2013\u00a0<\/em>Children\u2019s Bookwatch<\/p>\n

Tennessee was almost split in half by the Civil War. Residents of the eastern mountain region were largely pro-Union. When the state seceded in 1861, those resisting the Confederacy faced harsh retribution. Many families left the state, but Matthew and Elizabeth Burnett, who owned a farm high in the Smoky Mountains, chose to stay.<\/p>\n

By 1863, Tennessee was a battleground for the clash of Union and Confederate forces. Nathaniel, the Burnett\u2019s oldest son, is a Pinkerton spy, risking his life for the Union to report on Confederate troop movements. When Nat breaks his leg in a fall, he asks his fourteen-year-old brother Jonathan to deliver vital information to the Pinkerton contact. Jonathan enjoys the solitude of mountain life and lacks his brother\u2019s daring spirit, but he agrees to go.<\/p>\n

In his first confrontation with a Confederate officer, Jonathan manages to quell his jittery stomach by imitating Nat. Later, his resourcefulness is tested in a midnight battle with bushwhackers. An unexpected detainment in a Confederation camp and his friendship with Onesimus, a young black slave, convince Jonathan that \u201cthere is no winning under either flag.\u201d<\/p>\n
