Changes for Josefina: A Winter Story by Valerie Tripp

This was the fastest read of the whole series for my sister and me! We had a day when our parents and brothers were gone, and had time to read the book. Both of us got so caught up in the story that we didn’t want to stop reading, so we ended up finishing the story before we went to bed that night. We got off to bed a little late, but neither of us minded. This was a very fun, sweet, satisfying ending to the series. A great series, overall! I love historical fiction, and combining that with the intriguing New Mexican culture made for quite an interesting set of books. The writing style overall isn’t great, and the plots felt a little on the weak side, but as a read-aloud for a 5-8-year-old, this was an excellent choice.
