This book is suitable for children ages 11 and up, but I'm 23 and I enjoyed it a lot. It's set in midevil England and is about a homeless girl who doesn't even have a name and has to sleep in a compost pile because it's the only warm place where she won't rejected. The story is about how she gets taken in by a midwife to be her apprentice. Its heartwarming to watch her situation and outlook on life improve as she learns this skill.
Minor: Bullying, Child abuse, and Pregnancy
