This books is amazing! My mom and I read it together and she was in tears multiple times throughout... all the emotions! Definitely recommend!

I loved the book . It is a little sad, but amazing.

It was an amazing book, yet heartbreaking at some points. About a girl (Batya) who moves to America because of a pogrom and wants to be a woodcarver, but apparently woodcarving is only for boys! Read to find out if Batya becomes a woodcarver after all.

I learned a big lesson from this story. Girls should be treated the same as boys. The main character, Batya, persevered in pursuing her dream.

I read this book twice, which is rare for me (but frankly it was becauseI had nothing else to read) but it was still really, really really, (did I mention really?) good.
