Avi is a master storyteller!

This book captures yet again Avi's ability to bring to life a time period. No surprise as he is well known for this.

Wholesome coming-of-age story

I homeschool my kids, and we have a segment entitled, “Book Club”, where we listen to audiobooks, and discuss the chapters that we’d listened to, on said day. I really enjoyed watching their reactions to certain parts; and they always had plenty to say about the characters, whenever it was their turn to speak! They’d even shared what they thought would happen in the next few chapters, to specific characters, whenever we’d end the time on a cliffhanger! Awesomely heartfelt story!

Just plain good story

Family friendly.. great characters.. some hateable people to keep it interesting...

There is an undercurrent of a misconception about all that girls and kids can do if they set there mind to it
