Took me back in time

Review by Elana O.

I learned about the time of the Crusaders and about Solomon Ben Isaac. I would recommend this book to kids 10-11.

It was a great book

Review by ATX4EVR

This book was really well written. It really, really gave first person perspective and it made me feel the way the characters felt. It is a very good book and very informational.

Very interesting!

Review by DumbledoreBoy

I read this book with my mom and it was very fun and intriguing. We couldn't stop reading it. I liked that they had to work around the crusaders. I liked that it was a girl who was modifying the rules with the support of her grandpa Solomon ben Isaac.

Amazing book

Review by i heart reading

When you read this book you learn about Jewish people in Troyes, France in 1096. In this book,Elvina has to make her own choices.

OK, but sort of boring

Review by ilovebooks2016

It was a good book in theory, more like a nonfiction book than fiction. If it had a lot more action and maybe some more events, it would be a great book. If you are a person who likes historical fiction, like me, you will be disappointed.
