Battle of Lookout Mountain

The Battle of Lookout Mountain is an excellent book. I have read the entire series and I love every book. I like how Mr. Morris has the two families "against" each other while Leah and Jeff are still friends. I think this is an incredible book. I encourage everyone to read this book and all the books in the series

Love this book!

I love this book!I think that it has a great story line. Theway that the author portrays the heartbreak and sorrow from friendsand family being torn apart by war, and the hardships and horrers of battle and a soldiers life, are enough to make you feel the pain that the characters are feeling,but are not overwhelming. I recommend this book and the rest of the books in it's series to anyone who loves a good book!
