The Secret of Sarah Revere
AuthorAnn Rinaldi
ISBN0152046844
This book was definently not my favorite book. I probably would never read it again. The beginning is kind of confusing and not intriguing.

Pagan's Crusade
AuthorCatherine Jinks
Was highly recommended for 9yob & that general age group. Very disappointing. (It's not about a pagan, that's merely the main character's name:) Anyway, Pagan is an extremely saucy, disrespectful, sarcastic young man with a dirty mouth. Counted 10 swear words in the first 8 pages. That's as far...
