Books with title The drummer boy

In a kingdom where herald trumpets are replaced with a drumline made up of twelve orphans, Arlan Felix is the oldest. When Janson Tuck, the new kid, gets kidnapped in the middle of the night by the famous diplomat- turned- outlaw Fearless Le Paige, there is only one thing that can be done: Arlan has to rescue him. After befriending Georgia, the King’s daughter, they set out along the long and dangerous trail to Fearless’ lair. On the way, Arlan and Georgia run into the brothers Ward, Micah and Nathan, who play in a traveling band of unusual qualities. As this unlikely quartet unravels the tightly knit lies about Fearless Le Paige, they realize things never are as they seem. In this story of friendship and adventure, Rebekah Haas spins a tale you won’t soon forget.

It’s 1863, and the War Between the States has been dragging on for two years.

However, the only position open is that of drummer boy. But Clem doesn’t want to be a drummer boy. He wants to fight . . . to become a hero. But how can you become a hero if everyone thinks you’re too young to fight?
