Priceless historical fiction
Revisado: 05-05-25
The author’s research clearly shows in the story; I felt like I was transported back in time. Her storytelling was excellent, and the main character’s voice was so immersive that after listening for an hour I had to remind myself that I was not Ann Fay Honeycutt. (Kudos to the reader of the audiobook as well as the author!) That’s all good, but I say it’s priceless because I have found no other children’s novels that even touch polio, and certainly not the Miracle of Hickory. These are things children should have opportunities to learn about, and what better way than through accurately researched & beautifully “painted” fiction? Only in this way can they come close to witnessing and experiencing such events. For homeschoolers & traditional students alike, this book would make excellent supplementary reading for any history program addressing the 1940s.
