Praise for PRIVATE NOBODY:
"Matthew Landis depicts the world of middle school with laser-like clarity, big-hearted warmth, and abundant humor, while also managing to bring Civil War history vividly to life. There's even a little romance thrown in! I wish I were still teaching just so I could hand this book to my favorite students." -Jordan Sonnenblick, award-winning author of Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie

"A couple of tech savvy seventh-graders that readers will love getting to know go digging for a civil war soldier with a secret and discover themselves. Matthew Landis's novel is the best kind of time travel as past and present cross-dissolve." -Richard Peck, Newbery Medal-winning author of A Year Down Yonder
