Really enjoyed this book! A good story, well written, touching and surprising and interesting historical fiction.

Mixed review for this one…I enjoyed the aspect of getting to know the characters but overall a little disappointed in the end.

This is a sweet children's book. It reminded me of "Where the Wild Things Are" with a little boy who wants to "get away from it all." I enjoyed the lovely watercolor illustrations.

I enjoyed reading this while working sleepaway camp and needed something quick to get through. Loved the style too! Finished this on July 7th.

Chapter 19 - In this chapter Jude is learning from the "Ghost" who is teaching her how to spy for Prince Dain. The Ghost is showing her how to kill, camouflage herself, and leave undetected. She is doing this in the name of Prince Dain - but prior to this assignment, she was not a person who killed.

This was a cute novel

If you saw two dirty, ragtag children who growled and snarled, would you believe they were raised by wolves?

The author is a fan of John Irving and it shows - a oftentimes delightful book filled with rich characters. The story does a lot to illuminate how the gay community suffered throughout the decades of 1940s and onward in Ireland. Many of the plot points and twists and turns were a bit predictable and rote, but otherwise a good solid emotionally-fulfilling read.

Overall a very good read. A little long and dragging at times (it’s a long and detailed book) but excellent comprehensive history of the Hudson River. I especially enjoyed the early revolutionary history! But all of it was interesting and I learned a lot!

Very interesting!!!!
