Her father wanted her to be a boy, so she always tried her very best to impress him, and to prove herself.

In this book, the story of a young teenager name Emma Edmonds is told. This great book discusses many important and relevant topics of the Civil War.This book is very organized and told from a third person point of view. Emma also strayed from one of her most important missions to send a message to someone as a Confederate soldier’s dying wish. I believe this shows that even though she was serious about her orders, she would still attempt to help someone in need.

Instead of abandoning him like another Union spy would, she stays with him until the end. Inside, she discovers there is a dying Confederate boy in one of the rooms.

For example, when Emma went to the rebel side in disguise to hear of some of their battle plans, she goes to what seems to be an empty house. The main point of this book is that even in the toughest situations, Emma showed true bravery, intelligence and kindness. It stated that Emma was not one to sit around and watch things happen, rather than to make things happen. One major topic that he included was the life of a girl during the civil war. I believe that the book Behind Rebel Lines was very inspiring because it shows Emma’s great bravery and strength in hard times.This book displays many very important topics of the civil war. This nonfiction book describes her journey as a Union spy, and gives a great sense of what life was like during the war as a soldier and as a girl. Emma’s great battlefield adventures are told in the book Behind Rebel Lines by Seymour Reit. This may sound daring and exciting, but think about needing to hide your identity! That was the life of Emma Edmonds, a teenage girl who disguised herself as a man to be accepted into the middle of the Civil War.
