this is such a good book. As i read it because it was an MCBA book. There is no boring parts, its fast paced and while i was reading this i was always on the edge of my seat. Anybody can read this, i love historical fiction, but literally anyone would love it. This is such a good Author also, if u dont know about this topic/setting where it takes place.... your fine it gives u so much backround info to help younger readers and ppl that need info before reading this. everything is so clear, you never have to reread a chapter because you dont understand. the book has so many things, yet it leads us to the same topic. I couldnt put this book down. there is so much defined wording, and emotion. This Author reminds me of E.B white, everything in this book runs so smooth with so much detail. This book fits in everything it needs you have so much feeling for these characters, you feel there struggle and pain, and you wish they could help them.perfect length, it never has uneccesary parts, every small part of the book is important to the story line. when i read the first page i was already emotional. its almost starting in the middle of something with the backround info of what happened previously, meaning it starts u in the perfect time, Note.. this book is based on a ceertain time period in history, with a tint of facts. so if your doing this book to educate, its not the best, but it does give u the info u need to understand the book HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ANYBODY
