Review: The Journal of James Edmond Pease: Jon How would you feel if your parents didn't want and to everyone you were considered bad luck? Well in the book "The Journal of James Edmond Pease" it talks about a boy named James who live with his aunt and uncle who didn't want him so he runs away and joins the Union Army in the Civil War. James was only 15 when he joined, but he was able to get in. Nobody really liked him cause he was unlucky. One day in the confusion he charged ahead of his company and scared off all the Confederates single handed. After that, he became well liked by most people and soon rose Corporal. He showed his bravery when he spent a week in enemy territory. By the end of the war he rose up to Second Lieutenant. I liked this book because it was suspenseful and I didn't want to put it it down. I recommend it to anyone who likes historical fiction books like the "My Name is America" series or learning about wars.
