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!

perfect book!

Review by readingisfun22

I really like historical fiction books about immigration. In the begining of the book Shoshana moves to nordakota and misses her home but in the end Shoshana makes friends and is happy in her new home. I can relate to Shoshana because I am different than everyone else at my school and it is hard.

Sky Full of Song

Review by Mlaeh

I highly recommend this book because it’s a good story. It shows that siblings can argue but they will always forgive each other. I also leaned about immigration from Russia and life on the prairie. The characters were funny too.

I loved this book!

Review by NationalDesignTeam

I liked that it felt like a Jewish Laura Ingall's Wilder book. I also liked that Shoshana wasn’t perfect and how she didn’t get along with her sister Libke perfectly, like in some other old timey books. It made them feel more real and relatable. It was a really engaging story. And all of the events built on each other making it really interesting. It also had the most satisfying ending and I am very picky about endings. - Lily, PJ Our Way Advisory Committee
