Kids love it. A little too simple for mom. Would be good for a junior reader.

I loved it - kids didn't

Cute story. Very thought provoking fit the kids.

A little odd. Kids liked it.

Well written but a bit bland as far as the plot is concerned.

A new favorite! My 8 year and loved it and so did I! Beautiful, insightful and inspiring.

Kids loved it. Better for tween age when they are getting into reading. We will likely read the rest in series. Cute story. Compare to barbie TV.

Slow and depressing. Interesting. Good imagery.

Amazing classic.

Not age appropriate for 5-8 yo. May read to myself is beautifully written.

Great for ages 5 and 8. Cute bedtime story. Gives good perspective on poverty and a loving family falling on hard times.

One of our favorites! A feel good story - great for reading to kids. Mine are age 5 and 7.

Story of bravery, loss, and moving on in a wartime setting via child's eyes.

Beautiful story about love, generations in America, and acceptance of different people in communities. Filled with stories of heritage and custom...and some funny animals! Kids liked this story very much!

One of my favorites as a child. Read to kids - they also loved it. Juniper is a strong loving character and her being spreads in the household. A story of personal growth and transformation.

Very interesting and well written story. Takes place in medieval times around time of plague. Many references to church history and life of the times including relics and witch hunts. Quite a dark story but adventurous. Kids enjoyed the adventures and acts of bravery.

Great! Quirky story about funny characters in a castle. A bit dark. Kids liked it (age 5 and 7)

Kids liked it.

Great. Read Juniper first!

Very good. Read twice for bedtime reading. Scary parts!

Read to Liya and Ari at bedtime. About 7 days. Love the ending.
