Last
semester I took a children's literature class, and really enjoyed it.
One of the resources our professor gave us was a book review sheet to
use for every book we read. As I come across a book that I enjoy, I'll
post my review of it, and hopefully it will be helpful for other
teachers.

Summary:
An orphan girl
moves in with an older man and woman who have very stringent rules. She tries hard to obey, and goes to school
and church. This story follows her
through childhood and adolescence without going into boorish details.
My opinion of the book: Fun book. Definitely tries to be realistic fiction, and succeeds in some ways.
