"This book is about a girl named Leah and her adventures while living on Walenska street with her two little sisters, Esther and Rose. My favorite part of the book was when Esther got stuck in the window. She thought she saw soldiers so she tried to climb through it and got stuck."

Set in the fictional Irish town of Faha, this novel centers around a country doctor named Jack and his daughter Ronnie. One night, a young boy in town discovers an abandoned baby with the help of some townsmen, delivers the baby to Jack's door. I loved getting to know Jack and Ronnie, as well as the quirks of Faha's people, and the extraordinary events that occurred during the time of the child. Though slow at points, this one is a must read.

"This book is about a boy named Sigurd. He travels to Wineland on a ship. I didn’t like the way Sigurd’s friend Gorm died, with Halfred pushing him off the cliff, so this book was kind of so-so for me."
