azajacks 's review for:

Moon Over Manifest by Clare Vanderpool
5.0

I didn't want this one to end. I love spunky girl characters, and Abilene is now one of my favorites. Right up there (almost) with Hattie from Kirby Larson's books. If you know me, you know that's quite a compliment.
I also love historical fiction, and this one is set in 2 different time periods: The Great Depression, and WWI. I found myself getting lost more in the flashback story of WWI, which could stand alone as a story on its own. But the way the 2 stories were interwoven was masterful. Well-done, Clare Vanderpool!
