Interesting and adventurous

Review by Maya

A Sky Full of Song is full of adventure. In the beginning, Shoshanna, the main character, moves from the Russian Empire to North Dakota. In North Dakota she lives on a farm with her family. When she goes to school, she’s not sure if she should show or hide her Jewish identity. I loved this book because Shoshanna perseveres through lots of challenges. If you like historical fiction this is a great book for you!

Good Book

Review by Potterfan3178

I wish there was an option for 4.5 stars! Anyway, I liked this book a lot. It took something very real and gave it a beautiful twist. I would recommend.
