"Trevin had to read this for a school assignment, so I figured maybe I should read it too...that way I could thoroughly harrass (I mean, assist) him with helpful ideas for his book report! And it was really a good book! Go G.W. :) "

“Cashman voices the large cast of characters with ease. Nate, in particular, sounds authentic and youthful. Narrating at an unhurried tempo, Cashman sets each scene and draws the listener into Nate’s world.”
— AudioFile“Marc Cashman uses his voice effectively to make each character come to life in this historical fiction title…His voicing of Running Fox’s choppy English and the British and Irish accents of the numerous generals, captains, and colonels is spot-on. The conclusion provides an historical note that offers additional information about the people, places, and events of the war. A good selection for family listening and for generating discussion about history and faith.”
