" Not up the usual Jean Fritz standards. I read this book aloud to my second graders. I probably won't do that again, though I will have the book available for students to read. "
— Sharyn, 9/3/2012 -
" We didn't care for this book at all. It made her out to be quite spoiled and demanding, when she was a woman of good character. Fritz seems to have an anti-Christian tone in some of her books. (This review was written by Mom.) "
