This book was absolutely legendary and explained that we have choices and that it is okay to be different. If I had to rate this book, I would give it a 150/100. That is how good it is. I seriously recommend this book to everyone.

Berta Berdette, who always felt like she's just a plain and unworthy compared to her younger sister, Glenna who was very outgoing and beautiful. This also had caused the girls' parents to treat them differently due to their personalities. But everything would change, deaths too plus also finding the suitors for both of the girls but delayed for Berta herself. This story is kind of depressing than of what I read of Janette Oke's other books but still I still do enjoy because it gives me the different outlook of how people live due to their past of growing up, their personalities differences but can still set the differences aside and learn and possibly love them for who they are. - Happy Reading!

Amelia Grafton, a girl who lived through the American Civil War of 1861-64. Like all of those other people, Amelia had to fight through to get additional information during the war against the North (Union) and the South (Confederate). Josh Dechart, one of Amelia's good friend who you will see more often among with other characters. Jinny Pearl Beale, a sweetheart for one of Amelia's brothers but not anymore, was also a woman soldier and spy, inspired from the Belle Boyd, another woman spy and a soldier. While reading this book, I can see that the Grafton have each other's backs, feelings about the war, different perspectives from each different character. - Happy Reading!

Patsy and Anne Henry, daughters of America's well known congressman, Patrick Henry. But much more behind Patrick Henry's fame and inspiration to the colonial America as another war is being fought at Henrys' home as the children's mother and Patrick's wife, Sarah got out of her mind as she started acting unlike herself. Family of Henrys are breaking apart as death, wars, and friends being lost are not new to them. This is actually amazing of how we think we just know about Patrick Henry but not a lot of about his family as we read through this type of stories and this left me having the new perspective about Patrick. - Happy Reading!

This book is really cool. Its kinda like a modern adaption of The Original Boxcar Children. The Orphans are recruited by a secret society and are supposed to return artifacts to the right place.

This is a book about a little girl called Sara Crewe. She had servants, closets full of clothing, and a great dad. Her mom died when she was born, but she did not miss her, because she never saw her. Sara loved telling stories and she loved reading books. She was a pretty girl, with long lashes and eyes with a queer color. Her life was better than everyone else. One day, Sara's father told Sara to go to a boarding school for young ladies. She didn't like the place because it was dull and ugly on the inside, with a very ugly and strict teacher who only cared about wealth. Before the day of of leaving each other, Sara's father bought her a doll that Sara loved, who was called Emily. In the boarding school, everyone liked her, except some of the big girls that were popular before Sara came. She cared for a mother-less girl called Lottie and even made a friend called Ermengarde. I'm not going to tell you the rest, but you can read to find out! I recomend it for 7-13 year olds.
