In this very enjoyable book our main character Homer Figg from Rural Maine sets off on a journey to find his brother who has been sold to the Union Army to take the place of a rich man's son (this is historically accurate). Homer as the title states often adds some spice to the truth and this adds fun to the story. On his journey Homer is kidnapped by slave catchers, joins a traveling medicine show and even holds up the flag at the Battle of Gettysburg where he is finally reunited with his brother. This is a fun book that both educates and entertains.It would be a wonderful addtion to a middle schoolers study of the Civil War.
