An Awesome Book

This is a really good book. The time of this book is way back when, it is about a girl called Elspet-Mary and she when she is very young she has to go and live with some relatives she does not know very well. Then her and her relatives decided to go to a new land, she makes new friends and gets to know everyone. There is much more to this book but they could be spoilers so I will let you find out about this book by reading it. I highly recommend this book! Jean Little is an amazing writer!

Great Read
