Camille's Story, 1910, is a sweet but short book for young readers looking to dive into the realm of short chapter books.
I had never heard of the Secrets of the Manor historical mystery middle grade series but when I saw this book at a local thrift store I decided to pick it up. Why not take a dive into some newer books for young readers and see how things have changed? I also just enjoy picking up different and random books for the fun of it, especially if there aren't many reviews.
This book was very sweet and a great way to introduce historical fiction to young readers. I wish there was a little bit more depth into the mystery since that felt slightly dull, but that's just my personal opinion. I think young readers will find this book engaging and a nice read. It's especially interesting having this book be from the serving class perspective instead of the rich, which is what I typically see in young historical fiction books.
Three out of five stars.
