The Soldier Who Vanished Book 1 - Paperback

The army knows him as Franklin Thompson. But Frank is hiding a secret that could change everything.

The Civil War has torn the country apart, and young Frank Thompson has stepped straight into the chaos. Wearing a Union uniform, Frank tends wounded soldiers, carries military mail across dangerous country, and faces the terrifying reality of war alongside thousands of men who have no idea who their fellow soldier really is.

Because Franklin Thompson is actually Sarah Emma Edmonds.

Every day brings a new risk. One careless mistake could expose her. One suspicious glance could end her life as a soldier. Yet Sarah refuses to turn back. Wounded men need her, messages must get through, and a war rages around her, leaving little time for fear.

But Sarah cannot hide forever.

As danger closes in and the cost of keeping her secret grows, the soldier called Frank Thompson moves closer to the moment when he will do something no one around him expects—

he will vanish.

Based on the extraordinary true story of Sarah Emma Edmonds, The Soldier Who Vanished brings young readers into the danger, courage, and uncertainty of the Civil War through the eyes of one of its most remarkable soldiers.
