Clara Barton: Angel of the Battlefield by Karl Kwasney, Ann Hood, Scott Altmann

2.0

Maisie and Felix are twins who recently moved into the Elm Medona, which is a mansion that has been turned into a museum. Maisie is an adventurous girl who loves to break the rules and Felix on the other hand thrives on following the rules. The twins discover a room in the mansion that can send them back into time. That is when they have the adventure of a lifetime. To be honest I was not a fan of this book, I thought that this book was very slow paced and had way too many details. The book also had no tension or conflicts to propel the story forward. I was not drawn into this story at all, there was not a lot left to the imagination and the adventure itself was not very interesting. This book was also labeled as a science fiction book but to be honest I thought it should fall under the category of historical fiction instead I think that I would recommend this to a student who likes to read about historical things, but I think this book would be too slow paced for most grade school students to enjoy.
