The Life Between the Death: Gary Paulsen's Soldier's Heart

Date of Review:  Nov 8, 2005
The Bottom Line: In which the author misses the part about the post-traumatic stress disorder.
Review: Just yesterday, here in Madison, a family laid to rest a young man (well, y'know, a 32-year-old man) who might have graduated in my high school class, who died of wounds received near Tikrit in mid-October. When I heard that story on the news, I...

Date of Review:  Aug 17, 2005
The Bottom Line: Post-traumatic stress is rarely examined in YA novels, and certainly never in historical ones. A different take on a difficult subject.
Review: "War is always, in all ways, appalling. Lives are stopped in youth, worlds are ended, and even for those who survive… the mental damage done is often permanent". Here in 2005 as I write this, these opening lines from Gary Paulsen's, "Solder's...

  Publishers Weekly: Addressing the most fundamental themes of life and death, the versatile Paulsen produces a searing antiwar story. He bases his protagonist, Charley Goddard, on an actual Civil War soldier, a 15-year-old from Minnesota who lied about his age and ended up participating in most of the war's major battles. At first Paulsen's Charley is fired up by patriotic slogans and his own na?ve excitement; in a rare intrusion into the narrative, the author makes it clear that ending slavery was not the impetus: "Never did they speak of slavery. Just about the wrongheadedness of the Southern `crackers' and how they had to teach Johnny Reb a lesson." But Charley's first battle Bull Run immediately disabuses him of his notions about honor and glory. A few sparely written passages describe the terror of the gunfire and the smoke from the cannons. Interwoven with these descriptions, a brilliant, fast-moving evocation of Charley's thoughts shows the boy's shocked realization of the price of war,
