One of the first series that I remember loving! It made me realize I loved historical fiction.

An absolutely amazing book. I would love to be able to teach this book to students. This is probably better for learning about racism than TKAM is if we are being honest.

This wasn't horrible. It had a plan and it was executed. Enjoyable moments and insights on life back then. It just wasn't the best and not something I would have picked for myself. Overall, good for projects because it is paced well, but it's mostly lacking in action up to the end.

This was a truly incredible book. Taylor's use of sensory language amazed me. There was a conflict around every turn. It was very action packed and suspenseful as well as very well written. I read this for school so it took me a very long time.
