Braving the Brontes by Katherine Rue

5.0

Quite enjoyable. Twelve-year-old Carly is thoughtful. Being a reader, she has dreamed of being a romantic heroine and so is almost prepared for the time-travel quest. The puzzle is about the Bronte family and, though, I am no expert, I enjoyed puzzling along with her. The author has a flair for descriptions and includes many literary allusions. The humor of a modern tween fitting into the restricted life of a child of the mid-1800's is very appealing. (fortunately for me, I was given an advance copy - unfortunately for you, you'll have to wait for the May publication)
