I love Julie Berry. She's quietly breaking boundaries in young-adult literature, and doing it with hard work and beautiful prose, and good on her for that. This one is exceptionally researched, as always. The framing device--having the stories of these four human characters told through the eyes o...
This is not the kind of children's book that adults love. Or at least, not this adult. The premise is interesting, and I think little girls may very well love it. But it seems like a fairly standard one-dimensional story of a misfit girl, rejected by her conventional family, battling mean girls and ...

Then shortly after, we have the death of the headmistress and her brother, leaving the girls to solve a mystery w...
I've had my eye on this for a while and truth be told, I was immensely disappointed. The synopsis made it sound like this, amazing and unique story that would blow my mind. It didn't.

This pleasantly surprised me. I don't read a whole lot of historical fiction, and now I feel like I should because I really, really enjoyed this. The Passion of Dolssa is a fast paced moving novel. It kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish -- even though its fairly long. And the writing...
Beautiful, beautifully written historical novel. Set in medieval France tells the story of Dolssa, a girl from a posh family and a sweet tone, and what she perceives to be a very special relationship with God/Jesus. Her passion is absolutely fascinating. I’m an atheist, no religious belief whatsoev...
Worum geht es? Wie befinden uns im England des ausgehenden 19. Jahrhunderts und zwar im Städtchen Ely. Hier betreibt die 62-jährige Witwe Plackett ein Mädchenpensionat und ihr widerlicher Bruder, Aldous Godding kommt jeden Sonntag zu Gast. Bei einem dieser Sonntagsessen, bei denen natürlich nur die ...
