"May very well give J. K. Rowling a run for her money." (School Library Journal)
I love most books that transport me to another time and place & books that uplift my spirit.
"Keeps getting better and better & a great narrator"
This is a fantastic story. So imaginative! I love the narrator Gerard Doyle, he's great in many books I've listened to. I can't wait for the next book! I'm starting it as soon as I'm done with this review for sure.

"Warning - Too Grim for Kids"
The main character in this book is a 12 girl but as the story takes place primarily in 1792 the grim reality of the time period is inappropriate for children. This book contains very realistic descriptions of the French Revolution. Avoid this book for children but enjoy it if you are an adult.
