What would life be like for a 10-year-old drummer boy serving in the American Civil War? Essentially the same as for any enlistee! There was little opportunity to shield anyone from either the good or bad experiences of war. There were playmaking, pranks, jokes, marches, and battles, as well as carrying the wounded and burying the dead. Cou-rage is commonly ascribed to adults. With Gilbert VanZandt, Lil Gib, we must recognize his unusual valor and patriotism–uncommon at any time, in any war. Marilyn Seguin carefully layers the experiences of Lil Gib, the drummer boy of the 79th Ohio OVI, and the true history of the outfit has finally comes to life. The real Civil War story of Gilbert VanZandt is finally told.

What happens when four tween BFFs get together? Anything! Really! Meet the Juniors (aptly named because they have their parents names): 'Derik' David Markum - saxaphonist, auto-junkie and impulsive-adventurer with adrenaline running through his veins; Angela 'Christine' Lopez - leader-extraordinaire, nature-lover, texting-champion and hyper-talker; 'Marion' Katherine Morgan - the brains of the outfit (her dad works for NASA), computer-addict, animal-lover, laid back 'goody-goody' of the bunch, and classical pianist; and finally, but not least, 'Dylan' Rutherford Daniels - mild-mannered rich kid, yo-yo expert, comedian and master voice impersonator. Somehow, trouble always seems to find them, and NOT the other way around. They fight crime and solve mysteries. Their talents and character get them through most of it, but it's usually teamwork that saves the day.
