Customer Reviews

I couldn't put it down!

Although I fall outside of the recommended age group for this book (well outside!) I ended up reading it anyway. I was surprised at how engrossing the story was to someone of my age. It made me realize that no matter what time period, parallels exist when it comes to the thoughts and dreams of adolescent girls. It took me back to my own days of "Judy Blume" books but gave it a refreshing look from a whole new perspective. Wonderful! I couldn't put it down!

Attention Mothers and Daughters!

My daughters (ages 10 and 12)and I are in Mother Daughter book clubs that both have read Eleanor Hill and loved it! Eleanor is an engaging character and the book is incredibly hard to put down, a real page-turner. The adolescent issues raised--independence, growing up, parent/child struggles, prejudice--are as relevant today as they were for Eleanor in the early 1900s. Our book clubs say "All thumbs up! Read Eleanor Hill together!"
