When his father is killed fighting in the Civil War, Tom must take a job. As assistant to the inventor of the Monitor, a ship designed to put an end to the war, Tom is a target of Confederate spies.Avi has always been one of my favorite authors. Poppy, the Crispin series, Seer of Shadows, and Silent Movie are some of the best, in my opinion. I read a blog post, and the author actually said this was her favorite Avi book. Now THAT'S a bold statement. If you're interested in historical fiction and the Civil War, I think this is the book for you! Just so you know, I would have to ask a lot of questions about the Civil War time period...make sure you are monitoring your understanding - if you have a question, ask someone!
