When he gets there he sees the the other drummer boy's name is Danny. Later it was time to do their calls like retreat and tattoo. Retreat was Ranse's favorite. R.J didn't tell his parents before going to the army. That's why he didn't go home for a vacation when the captain said he should. R.J just wrote a letter to his parents.
Ranse's feelings are pretty sad because his friends keep dying. Ranse beats the drum for the first time and something bad happens. Poor Ranse. Danny just died Who will be next?

Nice job with this summary - maybe you should come teach my fourth graders how to write a book review - no just kidding! Can I have permission to use this in class as an example?
ReplyDelete[...] Zumer decided to share more about the book he is reading in his book group, a novel called Red Cap by G. Clifton Wisler. And, since he finished with a little time to spare, he also learned how to embed an image file from a URL into a blog post so that he could include a picture of the book’s cover. [...]
ReplyDeleteRed Cap sounds like a sad book! Can you imagine going off to war in just a couple of years when you are 13? The book groups (fiction or fact) are such a great way to learn the history and get a "feel" for the time period. Good review! It makes me want to know more :-).
ReplyDeleteWonderful summary! This would really capture a potential reader's attention. If I weren't reading Red Cap already, this review would definitely convince me to!
ReplyDeleteSure
