The Midwife's Apprentice by Karen Cushman

4.0

The young girl who is the main character of this story, Brat, Beetle, or Alyce (depending on your page number) has to be admired for her perseverance. This is her story, as she goes from drifter to mid wife's apprentice, with a few bumps and twists along the way. I enjoyed the many details Karen Cushman included that make her historical fiction read so true. The old-fashioned language of the characters would still be readable to young readers. I enjoyed this and would recommend it for middle school aged readers.
