Description
The Making of Joe Wild by Andrew Komarnyckyj is a gripping young adult novel set against the backdrop of the American Civil War. At just 12 years old, Joe finds himself accused of murder and forced to flee for his life. With no home to return to and a future uncertain, Joe embarks on a perilous journey that takes him from the streets of Southern Illinois to the battlefields of the Union army. As he navigates this treacherous landscape, Joe faces numerous challenges and dangers, including racism, misinformation, and the harsh realities of war. But it's not until he confronts the truth behind his friend Ervan's murder that Joe begins to find peace with himself and those around him. This tense, action-filled novel is a powerful exploration of themes that remain relevant today. With its unique blend of humor, drama, and historical context, The Making of Joe Wild is a compelling read for anyone interested in the American Civil War era or young adult fiction.
