5/20/2023 0 Comments A Soldier's Heart by Leslie Lynn![]() ![]() ![]() It was the most focused I saw my students all semester. Once we got into the book, the students wanted to keep going. This book is very graphic and this was addressed with my seventh graders before we began to read. And the bigger surprise for me was how captivated my seventh graders were when I taught this book two years ago. ![]() Paulsen does a great job of vividly describing how a confident 15 year old enlists in the Army, only to find out how insecure he really is. As I am re-reading this for the second time, I am find the pages are flying by. I remember hearing about it from coworkers who said it was good and gave me a brief description of the book. I heard Gary Paulsen was a good young adult author but up until this point, I had never read any of his work. When I first read this over two years ago, prior to teaching it to 7th graders, I wasn’t sure what to expect. ![]()
