When the Civil War comes to the quiet crossroads of Averasboro, twelve-year-old Sam Carter never expects it to pass so close to home.
What begins as an ordinary road near his family's farm quickly becomes the center of a fierce battle meant to slow an advancing army. As soldiers arrive, earthworks rise, and cannon thunder shakes the ground, Sam watches history unfold from the edge of the fighting. His home becomes a place of refuge for the wounded, the land around him bears the scars of war, and Sam finds himself caught between childhood and a world forever changed.
Through one long, unforgettable day, Sam learns that war is not just fought by generals and armies; it is felt by families, carried by the land, and remembered by those who witness it.
The Battle at Averasboro is a powerful middle-grade historical novel that brings a lesser-known Civil War battle to life through the eyes of a child, showing young readers how even small places can play an important role in history; and how remembering matters.
