The Fighting Ground | Avi
3 posts | 4 read | 3 to read
April 3, 1778 He may be just thirteen, but Jonathan knows he's ready to go to the war against the British. He can handle a gun. He yearns to battle for glory, just like his brother and cousin. So when Jonathan hears the tavern bell toll, calling men to fight, he runs to join them. He doesn't realize that in just twenty-four hours, his life will be forever altered -- by the war, by his fellow soldiers, and by the terrible choices he must make.

“The Fighting Ground” was written by Avi in 1984. This example of historical fiction discusses a young teenager who lives in the time period of the American Revolutionary War. I really enjoyed this story!
