most french books (...), but this one really kept me reading! it has excellent vocabulary and true facts. Thank goodness i found this book to let me see that french books can be good too!

The nuclear bomb scare of a few decades ago is not real to today's students. This book is a delightful way to share the fears of nuclear disasters and rediscover the joy of a marvelous creation.

I have only read this book in French, but It is terrific! It not only reminds us of the Nuclear Bomb scare in the 1980s, but also of the curiousity of children. By the author's name, I assume it was originally written in French, so if you have a good understanding of the French language, I recommend reading the French version entitled "Surréal 3000."

I am a teacher and used this book abour 15 years ago with my students. They loved it. Since then, I have tried to find other science fiction books that would be appropriate for fifth graders and have had a difficult time. If anyone has suggestions, please let me know.

This was a good book. I have read it in both french and english and have had many english/french class discussions on it.

Summary: Jeanne, orphan girl of france. She is chosen like many girls to go to New France to help populate it. These chosen girls are on a mission for france, they are suitably named "The Kings' Daughters". Jeanne marries an intense man and becomes an instant 19-year old mother taking care of her new hubby's children who she adores. Jeanne has her encounters and adventures.

I found the book cliched. Jeanne is so overly cliched and her romance is a bit too. Their was little character developpment. It is obvious Martel is bias between the relations of the French and the Iroquis but she exaggerates their anger and fury a bit too much. The language is simple due to translation but if you do read the french version, the vocabulary is better.

The one true thing I like about the book is that, it's interesting. The plot is just her and her adventures. She has many adventures which keeps you reading. It's modestly historically accurate. I still recommend it if you wish to be interested but it would be better for the preteens.

I've owned this book since I was about 8, and just recently reread it for the millionth time (I am 24 now). Jeanne, the heroine, is compelling and attractive, as is her husband, Simon. Their romance is a little shallow, but this *is* a child's book.

The vivid descriptions of life as a settler in Canada are wonderful, and the portrayal of interactions between the French and the native tribes is not horribly biased. The whole range of behaviour in the French, the Hurons, the Algonquins and the Iroquois is explored, with the message being that people, regardless of their skin, are individuals. All races have good and bad people.

The language is somewhat stilted, as is predictable in a translation -- I should probably read it in French some day to see what I'm missing! I thoroughly recommend this book to girls ages 10 to 14.

I thought this book was absolutely wonderful!! I love all the romance and adventure that Jeanne goes through! I could read it over and over again!
