The Midwife's Apprentice by Karen Cushman
3.0

I decided to read this book because it won the Newbery medal, so I figured it would be good. The beginning of the book was very interesting and sucked me in right away. It was easy to sympathize with the main character and she was very likable throughout the book. I enjoyed the historic setting of the story. Certain parts of the story are very heartwarming. Overall, it's an okay children's book, but it's certainly not the best Newbery medal book I have ever read.
