MY LAST SKIRT: THE STORY
OF JENNIE HODGERS, UNION SOLDIER
by Lynda Durrant |
I am going to tell you about a story called “My Last
Skirt”. To me it is a very good story. It has drama,
adventure, and a little bit of romance. There is this girl
named Jennie and she decided she wants to go to war to fight
for her freedom during the Civil War. A lot of people try
to tell her not to go but she goes any way. On her way there,
there was a boy named Albert. She doesn’t know if she
likes the guy yet but she can test him out. They hate each
other at the beginning of the book. They had found out that
they had to work together at the front of the squad. They
HAVE to get to know each other cause they have to work together
as a team. Remember the saying “There’s No I In
Team”. That’s what they had remembered. They hung
out for a couple of days and I think they fell in love. They
moved to a small little village and lived there because that’s
where most of the battles were. They would have to travel
a long way if they didn’t move there. While she was
fighting, Jennie would wear special skirt that her great grandma
made for her when she was a little girl. She knew she was
going to be in the war. So she put on her skirt and went to
battle. If you want to hear what happens when she’s
at the war and if she goes back, you have to read the book.
It is an awesome book to read. I PROMISE. It is an awesome
book. Just read it.
Sincerely,
Graciella Chapas
