Review by Lily Williams This book is almost a diary, but is also a story. It is written by the main character about her experience with polio. She tells about when she got it, the ups and downs of having it, and the sister-like friends she made along the way. We also get to know her fate, along with all her friends in the epilogue. This book is very descriptive. It gives details all the way down to the brand of cookie. There are little pieces of information that you wouldn't think about writing, but Peg did. That’s why I think this book is one of a kind. It is an inspiring story of a young girl who overcame a disease not even a president could. It shows, that no matter your age, you can overcome any obstacle. This is a review of the book Shadow by Jenny Moss. It takes place in a fictional kingdom named Deor. Shadow, the protagonist, got her name from her job. She was the queen’s shadow. She is supposed to take a bullet for the queen. The queen needs that because it is prophesied that she would die before her sixteenth birthday. Before Shadow knows it, she is whisked away by the late queen’s love interest, Sir Kenway. It saved her life, but not the queen’s. They visit Sir Kenway’s castle to see his father, then a village in ruins, then a witch. She tells Shadow things about herself that she would have never figured out or guessed. I would give this book a 4 ½ out of 5. It is a good book overall, but starts off slowly. It takes a while to get interested. I like a book that I am hooked on in the first few chapters. This book just didn't do that. Book Review by Lily Williams |
