Questions

I’m looking for a series of books I read in about 6th grade. They were about the Civil War, and told the story of two young boys, one white and one black, who were friends with one another despite the racial differences and the time period. I believe it was a five book series. I read the books approximately 7 - 8 years back, but I can’t recall their names or author.

Perhaps something to do with “red haired” or “captive” or “slave,” and I believe “series” was included in the general title of each.

Thanks for your help. =)
