LITTLE WOMEN was absolutely wonderful! I would suggest it to anyone.

Little Women is a long book, throughly describing the March sisters' life during the Civil War. Louisa May Alcott has an excellent way of bringing the girls' real personalities to life, even 130 years later!!!! Little Women is a riveting book that propels the reader back in time to the Victorian era with its anti-woman tendencies. Even at the ripe old age of 11 or 12, this book will never leave you. Take my advice: man or woman, boy or girl, this should be one book you read in your lifetime.

Erna and Alfreda Anderson were two real passengers that traveled third class on the Titanic, but nothing is known about them, except that Erna survived, and Alfreda did not. The author of this book has written a novel that imagines who Erna and Alfreda Anderson were, why they were on the Titanic, and how Erna made it out of the tragedy alive when Alfreda, her relative, did not. The Erna of this book is a ten-year-old dreamer living in the Swedish countryside, often at odds with her realistic, sixteen-year-old sister Alfreda. Their father has been in America for several years, and sends tickets for the family to join them. But their mother must remain behind, so the sisters set off without her, arguing along the way. They board the Titanic in England, and they're on their way. Along the way, they finally manage to become friends. And how Erna survives, and her sister does not, happens in a tragic plot twist that was painful to read and had me nearly in tears. I highly reccomend this book. It goes along well with Voyage on the Great Titanic, from the Dear America series.

This book was EXCELLENT!!! It was so intersting, I couldn't put it down!! It starts off a little slow, but stick to this book, you won't regret it!!

Erna and her sister live in Sweden where they are very poor. Their little brother dies and their mother gets sick. Their father is in America and he sends tickets for the sisters to come to America. They will sail on the "Titanic." What will happen to the sisters when the ship sinks? A really cool author! She describes everything so well!

Unlike the title may suggest to some, this is a book for all genders. I am proud to be a man, and it was good for me.

This book, fourth in the AMERICAN SISTERS, was almost as good as the first book, WEST ALONG THE WAGON ROAD, was even better than the second book, A TITANIC JOURNEY ACROSS THE SEA, and was as good as the third, VOYAGE TO A FREE LAND. This title was about eleven-year-old Elizabeth Poage, her parents, her two little brothers, Robert and Joseph, who are five and three, and her younger sister Martha, who is nine, and their journey along the Wilderness Road from Tennessee to Kentucky in September of 1775. At the begining of the journey, Martha and Elizabeth can't seem to get along, but when Martha gets lost in the dark and endles forrest, Elizabeth realizes just how much her little sister means to her, and determines to find her before it is too late. I love the AMERICAN SISTERS series and can't wait to read the next book, CROSSING THE COLORADO ROCKIES

Lawlor's book Rebellious Spirit was an excellent one. I had a report due and it had all the information I needed and more. I would recommend it to anyone if they wanted to know about or needed information on Helen Keller.This book was extraordinary!

What can I say? This book was great! I started reading it at the beginning of my bath and couldn't put it down. As a result my bath was four hours long. While reading this book you'll feel as though you are right besides Helen, from her first meeting with Annie Sullivan, to her travels around the world. She truly was a remarkable woman. This book lets you see the other side of Helen that not many people are aware of.

This book deserves five huge stars. It tells about a girls feelings and it can inspire you like it did to me. Learn how to still contact your friends when they move or live raf away from you, in this book. I would also recommend you to read: P.S. Longer, Letter, Later. That's also a great book and if you love writing letters and friendship then you'll love this book it's about Tara Starr and Elizabeth. Like it, go grab it!

COME AWAY WITH ME is the first in the HEARTLAND series of three books that tell the story of a spirited young girl's adventures in turn of the century Luck, Wisconsin. Madeline "Moe" McDounogh doesn't think anything exciting ever hapens in Luck. Then her family gets the first automobile in town, and sets off for a picnic in the country. Moe discovers that she doesn't have to look any farther then her own hometown for adventure.

Because of her father's debts, thirteen-year-old Eda Hitchcock and her family are on their way west to Pike's Peak, hoping to strike it rich. After a long and difficult journey, they're finally almost there. But living in a tumbledown cabin in the wilderness and losing everything they own to thieves isn't what they expected. Nothing seems to go right. Eda sometimes wonders, will they ever get back home? This was a great book. It was interesting, and exciting, and had a likeable main character.

On the southwestern frontier in 1829, stepsisters Rosita Trevino, sixteen, and Maria Alvarez, fifteen, both dream of better lives, but they do not realize how much they have in common. They're more strangers than sisters. On the same day an American named Austin sails down the Rio Bravo to their home town of Guerrero, Rosita's father brings home a rich old man who choses to marry her! Desperate to escape, Rosita runs away, boarding Austin's steamboat. That very night, Maria sneaks aboard, disguised as a boy! Rosita discovers Maria was just as miserable as she. Along the difficult and near deadly journey down the river, they face an attack by bandits and a fire. But it's when they are kidnapped and held for ransom when they must truly work together. This was an excellant addition the American Sisters series (the first new book in a year and a half!) that brought to life the American southwest (then part of Mexico) in 1829.

Twelve-year-old twins Hester and Philena, indentured servants to Madame Sarah Kemble Knight in her Boston home, have no memory of their parents. Yet their predictable life, the only one they know, is about to change. Madame Knight receives a letter summoning her to New Haven. She decides to bring her fifteen-year-old daughter, Polly, along, as well as Hester. But a devastated Philena is forced to stay behind, to care for Madame Knight's mother, Goodwife Kemble. However, Goodwife Kemble sends Philena and the family's Indian slave, Cato, after Madame Knight, to give her something she forgot to bring along. Before the two can catch up to the travelers, Cato runs away to freedom, abandoning Philena in the wilderness. She must travel on, completely on her own. Even when she finally catches up to Madame Knight, Polly, and Hester, things don't get much easier. The four travelers face every danger imaginable on the difficult journey by horseback along the Boston Post Road, but Hester and Philena discover things about themselves and each other that they never knew, and find their own hidden strength and courage. I highly reccomend this book, and the entire series, to girls who enjoy historical fiction.
