review 1: To you guys' I would suggest "Strawberry hill" by Mary Ann Hoberman, if you like "Matched", it is somewhat like Matched because it is a book about a different time era,(the great depression) where a girl named Allie moves to a street called strawberry hill, where she must weigh out the differences between friends, since the friends refuse to be with each other. (ex: popularity vs. actual fun, hard core vs. "crybaby", and so on.) this is one of my favorite books.
review 2: I love stories about the everyday lives of children growing up in old-fashioned times. And I did enjoy this story, but there were elements that unsettled me. The first was the use of the Lord's name in vain. Hated that. And the second thing that bothered me was it dealt with some pretty heavy... more subject matters that I would not feel comfortable having my children read in this genre. There was very little commentary or explanation to help children interpret what exactly they were reading. I would think it would be more suited to a middle school audience instead of a grade school audience. less
