I like the book because nothing stopped Ruthie from getting money from Auntie Millie. Charlie and Ruthie make friends so they get some help to Auntie Mllie's village.

I think Lois Lowry described the book really well. I enjoy how Jonas and Gabriel make a daring escape to go elsewhere. Why is Jonas the only one feeling pain, sadness, fear, happiness?

I like this book because it is about history. I thought it was exciting when she met the Queen, but it was sad when Catherine's mother was sent back to Prussia after her wedding. The journey to Russia must have been cold and frientening. She was also nervous to meet The Queen.

I think the book was okay because the Fox hid in the barn and so did the puppy. When Mrs. Ponsonby found out she called Sam Western who tried to kill the fox. Luckily the fox escaped but then hid in the barn and no one had shot the fox.I would recommend the book to girls that like animals.
