With 130 pages it was a good book because it had many surprises in it.This book takes place in the northern part of the country. The book behind rebel lines was written by Seymour reit. Read moreĪ girl dresses as a man, a general’s wife, your family ripped away from you, and many secrets. I would say 10 because it gives you real information. I would recommend this book because its age appropriate.

I agree with the author’s arguments and conclusions because the events are true but the time line isn’t. The author’s qualifications are he used U.S Army records and files from the National Archives and wrote more than 80 books for young people. Some strengths are because both sides have spy’s and weakness are they both discovered each other’s spy’s. Yes the writing makes me picture what’s happening and a quote in on page 102. I think the author achieved his purpose because he also included what happened after she went home. Some major events that stood out to me were, when she becomes a spy and when she goes Behind Rebel Lines. So she disguises herself as a man and becomes a nurse. The most important event was when spies would penetrate enemy lines and take the army’s plan so they could make their next move.Have you ever thought women would want to be in the war? Emma Edmonds wants to become a solider but she is a women. Some of the most interesting main points in the book are when Emma disguises herself as a man to become a nurse in the war.

The book Behind Rebel Lines was an interesting book because it used descriptive information and lots of true facts about real events in history.Behind Rebel Lines is about the Civil War and spies. Behind Rebel Lines is a nonfiction piece by Seymour Reit, Also Houghton Muffin Harcourt published Behind Rebel Lines, and the book has 144 pages and was copyrighted in 1998.

Could you imagine living with the fear that maybe they would see through your disguise.
