Nurse, Soldier, Spy

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>This fast-paced, high-energy picture book tells the true story of Sarah Emma Edmonds, who at age nineteen disguised herself as a man in order to fight in the Civil War. She took the name Frank Thompson and joined a Michigan army regiment to battle the Confederacy. Sarah excelled as a soldier and nurse on the battlefield. Because of her heroism, she was asked to become a spy. Her story comes to life through the signature illustrations and design of John Hendrix and the exciting storytelling of Marissa Moss.<BR><BR><B>Praise for <I>Nurse, Soldier, Spy<BR></I></B>“The incredible story of how Sarah Edmonds becomes Frank Thompson is full of adventure, bravado and pathos. Spirited pen-and-ink drawings, full of period detail and war action always focus on the intriguing Frank…” –<I>San Francisco Chronicle<BR><BR></I>“Readers won't stop until the last page of Marissa Moss' exciting Civil War story about Sarah Edmonds' life as a man in the Union Army. Vivid illustrations by artist John Hendrix match Moss' exciting account of Sarah's life in the Army.” –<I>Sacramento Bee <BR><BR></I></P> <P class=MsoNormal>“Hendrix's artwork is, as usual, a showstopper, and his bold caricatures convey Edmonds's strength and determination. Moss delivers a riveting narrative, making it clear that Edmonds was fighting for more than one kind of freedom.” –<I>Publishers Weekly, </I>starred review</P> <P class=MsoNormal><B>“</B>The focused view makes the book accessible for children. The pen-and-ink with acrylic wash illustrations are full of vibrant detail. Hendrix presents a meticulous view of military life, including army camp layouts and fortifications. Hand-drawn typography highlights important or humorous points in the text and adds even more visual interest.” –<I>School Library Journal</I></P> <P class=MsoNormal></P> <P class=MsoNormal>“Hendrix's art emphasizes the horror and drama of war. Using hand-lettered text reminiscent of broadsides of the time, he visually shouts danger to the reader when tension is the highest.” –<I>Horn Book</I></P> <P class=MsoNormal><I></I></P> <P class=MsoNormal>“In ink-and-wash illustrations, Hendrix again displays his knack for visual narrative. The aerial view of Edmonds approaching the Confederate camp is particularly effective. This large-format picture book illustrates Edmonds' courage and determination while conveying a good deal of information in a highly readable way.” –<I>Booklist</I></P> <P class=MsoNormal><I></I></P> <P class=MsoNormal>“Admirable and enlightening. Moss is a lively prose writer, and Hendrix's illustrations inject humor into what is actually a serious subject.” –<I>The New York Times</I></P> <P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>“Boldly illustrated. The text is full of interesting details. This book strikes a fine balance which conveys the horrors of the Civil War without portraying too much blood and violence for elementary readers. A very useful and researchable picture book.” –<I>Library Media Connection, </I>starred review</P>
