Review:

    I have been having trouble finding a book good enough to finish lately. This book has been on my daughters shelf for 10 years. I've had my eye on it for a while and now I wish I had picked it up long ago. This short read was a nice break for me.  I like reading about this period in history and this book was well done. It was written to be appropriate enough for kids and engaging enough for an adult to keep turning the pages. I found myself disappointed when it ended. 

Cover:

      I love it. I also love the title.
