* "Rich in historical detail . . . a superb story of grit, determination, and personal growth."

Beast storry I've read.

Lyddie uses a re-occuring scene throughout the book. I wish the book was longer so I knew what was to happen in Lyddie's future. This book was so enjoyable, and the narrator showed great emotion.

I read it for pleasure

I read Lyddie for pleasure because i read the back of the book and from the back of the book i was very intrigued.

Could not put it down!

The sort of book that just makes you feel good inside outside and just all over. Don't hesitate to read this book. Ever. I could not put it down!

Fantastic.

Great book for my 14, 13, and 11 year old. I would highly recommend it.

Enchanting story!

Great narrator, beautiful story of the courage and hope of a young woman. I loved it.
