The book that I read is called Civil War on Sunday and it is a part of the Magic Tree House series by Mary Pope Osborne. I do not remember reading any Magic Tree House books when I was younger, but now I wish I did. In this story two siblings, Jack and Annie visit their magical tree house that provides them with books that send them to various places. In this adventure, they travel back to the Civil War and learn all about the soldiers and the purpose for the war. Jack learns a little bit about his family history when he meets a drummer that looks identical to him. The two siblings also meet other famous characters, like Clara Barton, who shares her story about caring for the wounded soldiers.
This book is really exciting for young readers because you cannot wait to see what will happen next! I would recommend this book for children ages 6-8. I like how within the story Jack takes notes about what he learns, then at the end of the book his notes are summarized. This gives the reader an opportunity to learn factual information about what is going on in the story.
