"Clever, funny, and touching, this is a book that keeps the reader absorbed.... A winner for sure." - School Library Journal, starred review
I got this book for my neice but I read it myself and really enjoyed it.
It's a great little book about 2 12yr old girls who accidently switch places between 1891 and 1991. It gives you an idea of what it would be like to live in a place 100 years from your own time and by yourself away from family. Their daily adventures and some of the rough times they each had just add to the storyline. I think anyone would enjoy it.
