      Grades 5-8 The 1863 Battle of Gettysburg was the bloodiest of the Civil War, and this entry in the Graphic Warfare series depicts the brutal three-day fight. A brief foreword gives background on the Civil War and sets the stage for this pivotal battle, which is then recapped in graphic form. Each day's fighting receives its own chapter, and the final chapter focuses on the conflict's aftermath and the end of the war. Dark colors and tone portray the import of the battle, while the action-packed illustrations bring excitement to this historic event. In addition, each panel contains informational boxes and speech-balloon dialogue. Back matter includes maps, a time line of the war, biographical sketches of Robert E. Lee and George G. Meade, and quick stats.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2016, American Library Association.)

      Written by Joeming Dunn. The Civil War's deadliest battle is detailed in a graphic novel presentation that should appeal to visual learners, though context is limited. Major events, individual leaders, strategic battle sites, important skirmishes, and final results are appropriately depicted in panels dominated by blue and gray. Maps aid in understanding battle maneuvers. "Quick Stats" and brief information about two key military leaders are appended. Timeline. Glos., ind.
