The Mostly True Adventures of Homer P. Figg
by Rodman Philbrick
Trying to rescue his older brother from the Civil War, Homer P. Figg goes on a whopping adventure joining a traveling circus; riding in a train, a boat, and a hot-air balloon; making a number of friends; and narrowly escaping some very dangerous situations. This is a funny book with an endearing protagonist who tells a dubious tale of courage and love with a realistic voice. A must-read!
