Type: Historical fiction
Style: Graceful and descriptive
Length: Good size, a good reading.
Age rating: 11+
Very good but for 11 and up, may be hard for younger children to understand.
Overall grade:
The Lost Summer of Louisa portrays a young, energetic, independent Louisa, with a good use of words and good descriptions. Leticia and Elise found it both intriguing and well-written. Kelly O'Connor McNees writes this novel elegantly, stylishly, and keeps the reader hooked. Excellent for a book club. Shows sacrifice, big choices, independence, change, the start of a new life mingled with romance. Overall, highly recommended.

ReplyDeleteLouisa May Alcott has always been a wonder to everyone, being so secretive, enigmatic, and carefully hiding details of her personal life. This is a blog, just starting, with only a few posts, but already one of the book reviews is making heads turn.
