While the fires burn in Atlanta, love burns in the hearts of both Yankees and Rebels. After seeing the way Jeff looks at pretty little Lucy Driscoll, Leah fears she's lost his interest forever. She's got a plan that will make him green with jealousy. But will her plan backfire? And love is brewing on the front lines too. Will Royal or Drake win the hand of the lovely Miss Lori?

Good book!

I love this book and I've lost count of how many times I've read it before<:0 It's a great Historical fiction (for anyone who's interested in the Civil War)and it's very adventurous. Read this book if you haven't yet!!!

Fantastic Book!

I love this book! I think it is really emotional between Leah and Jeff since Leah is jealous of Lucy. I think it teaches people about feelings and the Civil War action. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves to read.

Good book

In Fire over Atlanta, Leah Carter drives herself into some major trouble when she sets out to make Jeff jealous. He's paying absolutely to much attention to Lucy Driscoll. When Cecil Taylor asks for her hand in response to her attempts, Leah knows she's made a big mistake. What will she do? Great book for preteens and early teens.
