A House Divided by Chaparral Books - Historical Fiction Novel for Book Clubs & Literature Enthusiasts | Perfect for Reading Groups & American History Discussions

I used this book as a seventh grade Texas history teacher and found that my students were very engaged in this story of a German family caught up in the turmoil of the Civil War. The story of Luisa von Scholl, a 16-year-old who disguises herself as a hospital orderly to rescue her brother, is compelling. It's interesting for both girls and boys. Highly recommended!
