cretzlaff 's review for:

The Midwife's Apprentice by Karen Cushman
4.0

read aloud with 9-yr-old. We liked it. Interesting idea to try to recreate the lives of ordinary people in the times of knights and queens and kings. It gives a sad sense of the precarious lives of children then, but somehow it didn't end up being depressing. Good female character.
