Sandry's Book by Tamora Pierce
4.0
This was a cute read, with a well developed world, four strong characters, and a story that built slowly until the end. I had some trouble keeping the characters apart at first, and I never completely understood the magic.
Young readers who enjoy slow paced adventures with magic, strong female characters, a supportive mentor, and great friendships, will enjoy this read.

Content:
Violence: near death and scary experiences, including a plague that kills all their families, a lone survivor form a shipwreck who is shunned from her community because of bad luck, and being locked inside a cell and forgotten about.
Religion: the gods are mentioned throughout the book. They pray to them, worship them in temples, and draw the gods-circle on their chests.
Romance: we hear that there are places where both genders bathe together.
Other: characters can use magic, though this is done with the gods’ power. They manipulate forces in nature, and scry the future.
