A haunting and breathtaking tale. You should see my worn old copy. I grew up on this book.
It's hard to believe this book really exists and I didn't just dream it up. It's so brilliant and moving to me, I don't really even think of it as a book. I think of it as a world.
Let me paint you the picture: imagine 11 year old me, sitting on a fluffy carpet at 12 a.m. in a cozy suburban Jessheim flat. Snow falls outside and the sky, beyond the foggy windows, is red and yellow-tinged with the sleeplessness of the polar night There's a cup of chocolate beside me, hardly touched and cold by now. A book lies open on my lap. My eyes are wide open. My soul soars on the soft white wings of the Luckdragon.

A Narrative of a Revolutionary Soldier: Some Adventures, Dangers, and Sufferings of Joseph Plumb Martin
Joseph Plumb Martin, Thomas Fleming
These soldiers went through horrible things, but this novel is narrated in such a light-hearted, funny way... it holds a special place in my heart.
Makes you wanna slide on a pair of shades and a hoodie and yell "yeah!!! I'm a tEeNaGer!!! And I'm gonna cHANGE THE WORLD!"
