Interesting and adventurous

Review by Maya

A Sky Full of Song is full of adventure. In the beginning, Shoshanna, the main character, moves from the Russian Empire to North Dakota. In North Dakota she lives on a farm with her family. When she goes to school, she’s not sure if she should show or hide her Jewish identity. I loved this book because Shoshanna perseveres through lots of challenges. If you like historical fiction this is a great book for you!
