I really liked the book. I liked that it was plausible that it happened in real life. It really held my attention and my brother's attention. It was always exciting to see what happened. I liked that Batya kept trying to follow her dreams despite being told no many times.

This book was a very nice read, though not my favorite. Batya proved that girls could do the same as anyone, and despite being told not to she went off to carve. I really like that Batya was a mischief-maker but yet a truthful girl who just wanted to fight for her dream. Remember, acting differently, or being unusual doesn't mean you're bad and Batya proved just that. Enjoy the read!

This book was a very good book and I would recommend it.

I like how Batya snuck off and carved despite being told not to do so.

great book
