Upset by pronunciation

Reviewed: 02-29-24

This third book took awhile to get into and we only stuck with it because of how much we loved the other two books. The first thing that turned us off was the pronunciation of Katar which was different from the first two audio books available on audible. Then the introduction of so many new characters was difficult. It took us almost half of the book to really get to know and like the 3 girls. That being said, the way this story wraps up is worth listening to the first half of the book and putting up with some of the nit picky things. The story line was captivating by the end.

This book did a better job holding my attention than Circus Mirandus and moved along better.

We listened to this book as it was suggested by the Sonlight Homeschool Curriculum. My kids are 10, 7 and 5. My two oldest and I really liked this book. They said, "it was a cute story." It was probably my favorite Marguerite Henry book yet.

We listened to this book as it was suggested by the Sonlight Homeschool Curriculum. My kids are 10, 7 and 5. I was really unsure if this book would capture the attention of my kids. My 10 year old was able to follow along and my 7 year old claimed he didn't listen, but I know that he did understand. It did not appeal to the 5 year old. I appreciated how this book really captured the way Boston was right at the start of the American Revolution. This gives me a lot of this to refer back to while we are reading facts in other books. "Remember in Johnny Tremain when..."

We listened to this book as it was suggested by the Sonlight Homeschool Curriculum. My kids are 10, 7 and 5. We all really appreciated this story once we got a handle on some of the Native American words. This certainly helped my kids remember the Iroquois League of Nations with much more detail than I ever could have hoped for. This is a wonderful book.

I was unsure if this would appeal to my kids, but they did enjoy listening to it and it really helped them understand what the Jamestown Settlement experience was like, more than any history book would have.

We listened to this book as it was suggested by the Sonlight Homeschool Curriculum. My kids are 10, 7 and 5. They were too young to have the story catch their attention. We put this one on hold until they are a bit older in a few years. We only made it through the first few chapters, so I'm not sure how it finishes.

We listened to this book as it was suggested by the Sonlight Homeschool Curriculum. My kids are 10, 7 and 5. As the adult, I certainly liked this book the most. I really appreciated how there was back story to each of the kids and the teacher. My kids were mostly interested and I think the voice cast helped keep their attention. I'm not sure how they felt about the overall story, but they are currently working on building a tetrahedron, so it at least inspired them.
