This is a good story because you don't know what is coming next. It's about what this family has been through during the early 1900s in NYC. It was a little boring because I don't like life-line stories. The vocabulary words are too hard for nine year olds. I recommend this book because it showed different ages of children going through hard times. It made me think about what life must have been like for my family.
This book gets a little sad, but this family ALWAYS sticks together, no matter WHAT!!!!! There are ups and downs, but they always seem to fix them. I recommend this book for ages 9+. hope you enjoy and/or enjoyed this book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It made me think about more of the jewish culture. I think everyone should read it.
This book is so good that I'm borrowing the next, (I already read the first one, and that one was amazing too!)
