Summary: A first person view of the horrors of war
Review: Charley Goddard, like many young men at the start of the American Civil War, thought that war was an exciting adventure, not to be missed. At the age of fifteen Charley leaves his family in Minnesota to enlist in the First Minnesota Volunteers.Sadly, Charley learns very quickly that war is no great adventure. His mind can barely comprehend all the horrors he sees: fellow soldiers with missing body parts, bleeding, wounds, and death everywhere. The reader follows Charley through his first battle, a bout with dysentery, his merciful assistance to a doomed soldier with a belly wound, and into the battle at Gettysburg. The whole time Charley is convinced his death is certain. And yet, he continues to survive. Soldier's Heart fully displays the awfulness of war. The story is not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach. Paulsen puts no sugar on this pill, but the story is touching despite its foul taste. The reader cannot help but feel for Charley, and hope that he lives through it.

Summary: soldiers heart
Review: A boy named Charley wanted to be in the war, so he lied about his age. He was really only 15 years old. So he headed off on a train to Maryland. It was the first time he had left Minnesota. He saw his first black person. When he first started fighting in the war he was afraId. By the end of the book he was fighting furiously, stabbing and jabbing people with out even thinking about it. It is a very good book.

Summary: Soldier's Heart
Review: A young boy named Charley wants to join the Army, but there is one problem -- he's only 15 years old. He pretends that he is 18 years old. Following hardships from losing his father, he sends the money he earned back to his mother and brother. While Charley could read and write, school was not important to him. Charley wrote letters to his mother while in the Army. He wrote about the daily life in the Army - concerning the meals that he ate. The meals included beans which were eaten for three days in a row. Later, these beans were ground for coffee.
The book was easy to understand while you were reading the book, you could imagine the people coming alive within the pages.
While I would recommend this book to teenagers, this book should not be read by younger students as it deals with issues pertaining to death and fighting.

Summary: A Soldier's Heart
Review: I read a book called A SOLDIER'S HEART. I liked this book because it takes place during the Civil War, but most of all I liked it because the soldier tells his magnificent story. This book, written by Gary Paulsen, has a resemblance to one of his other many books, HATCHET, because it is told by a boy somewhat like the soldier. They relate because just the soldier and the boy tell their stories. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the Civil War.

Summary: Soldiers Heart
Review: Hi, I am a 15 year old stundent. Put yourself in this war, fighting in the civil war with gun shots that sound like thunder and the man that you met yesterday getting killed. I read Soldiers Heart By Gary Paulsen. This book is a Historical fiction book on the civil war. I thought this book was a good book. This book is a good for 7th graders. In the story, I predicted when Charley said " The fighting is on the left and I knew thats where we were going" I know that they were going to go right.
This story is about a teenager named Charley who heard about an attack on Fort Sumter. This is the Beginning of the war. Charley signed up to be in the army's Minnasota Volinteers. For month they trained and finally they got to fight in the war. After a couple of battles Charley lost some of his friends that he had made. In the final battle of the Civil war Charley gets shot. To find out what happen you should get the book.
