Charley Skedaddle
Coming from the rough and tumble of street life in the Bowery, 12-year-old Charley expects to avenge his brother's Gettysburg death with ease. Being connected with the Union Army is different than Charley expected, just as the horrors of real war are nothing like the battles in his neighborhood. Charley learns about courage from Granny Bent and has to prove he isn't a coward. ©1987 Cooperative Children's Book Center
