A review by memelollars
The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy
5.0
Fantastic read aloud! My mom read it aloud to us, and I really enjoyed reading it to Avery. It is surprisingly humorous and a suspenseful page turner. Avery loved it so much and asked me to read it anytime we had a break in our day. She even read it aloud to me while we were driving. She said it was 4.5 stars for her; she took off 1/2 a star because, in her words, “the romance was too heavy”.
We had some concerns about anti-Semitism and discussed whether it was coming from the author or the characters (villains). By the end of the book, we concluded it was mostly the latter.
