This book is so interesting! A romantic mystery that is interactive and historical. Whew!
Follow Jennie as she tries to piece together the truth as to what happened to her fiance in the Civil War. Each chapter begins with an illustration that is a recreation of a photograph, painting, or letter. While this addition does create a different flow for reading, I enjoyed the originality.
This book seems like an excellent read for the 12-15 age range as it is appropriate in material, but still very exciting and interactive. Picture The Dead would be a good supplement to a Civil War lesson in school as many major battles are mentioned and the illustrations are true to the time period.
