Summary: A Action Packed War Novel
Review: Do you like action books? Then you should read the Fighting Ground. This is an action and heart warming story. When people are reading this book they just jump out of their seats.

This book sometimes made me feel really sad. The author of this book Avi, had alot of good supporting details in every paragraph. At the begining of this book it was somewhat a little boring, but towards the middle I started really getting into the book.

This is a very tender and action book. The major theme is to be informed before making decions. When Jonathan, a 13 year old boy, went to war without realizing what he would go through. Also Jonathan was not well informed to make the decisions to go to war. Jonathen's father was well informed because he went through the same thing.

Avi has a great imagination when he rights his books. Haveing a great imagination really brings the reader into the story. Avi is a talented wrighter and convinces the reader to keep on reading.

You will find this book irresistable if you love action. Kids of all ages would love this story. Dont miss this opportunity to learn about the war in 1778.

Summary: The fighting ground
Review: I had to read this book over the summer for school and it was a really good book. It was a great story about a boy who thought one way about the war and when he finally went to fight realized it wasnt what he thought it was at all. I was very sad when I read about the little boys parents but very happy when Jonathon finally got home at the end of the story safe and sound.

Summary: An OK book for all ages.
Review: Overall, I think The Fighting Ground was an okay book. It wasn't exactly what I thought it would be. The plot took place over a 48-hour period, which made things a little more suspenseful. The plot was about a boy, Jonathan, who was very anxious to go to war against the British. As the time came, he went to go fight, ignoring his parents telling him not to, and ended up fighting the Hessians, not the British. In the end, I found the book to be slightly boring but if you're an avid Avi reader, you'll probably enjoy this book. Also anyone that enjoys reading about the Revolutionary War would probably like it.

Summary: A Intensive Novel
Review: There is a boy named Jonathan. Her is a 13 year old boy. He wants to be in the American Army. He ends up in the front row. After a little while in the army he realizes that war is not that fun.

This book is very interesting. It has a lot of support and detail. There is a lot of violnece in some parts. The part that I liked the best was when Jonathan was being chased by the Hessians.

The authors name is Avi. She is trying to say that you should not do somthing unless you know its right. Dont do somthing if you know somebody whos been thee and done that and told you not to go there. You should get information on the things that you do and know the purpose before doing it.

Jonathan runs away from his home and goes to the battle feild. He is in the front row and is very scared. He gets left behind by his group and gets captured by the enimy. He eventually escapes and goes home.

The Author Avi likes to write her chapters in the time of the book. He writes the Hessian language in the back of the book. In the back of the book the language is translated from the hessian to the American language.

I liked this book because of the action. I reccomend this book for ages 10-15. There is a lot of hard words and a lot of violence in some parts. The book was great. You should read it.

Review: We had to read this 50 page "novel" for English. I don't know anyone who enjoyed this 5-week torture book. I enjoy Avi's stuff, but come on! Give me a break!! DON'T BUY THIS!!! -A disgusted young author who's expecting better things from this particular writer.
