Ashes by Laurie Halse Anderson

4.0

Nice finish to a great young reader's historical fiction series. I thought it was a great way to finish Isabel's, Curzon & Ruth's stories and covered the history well without getting too bogged down in details for a children's story. I have said before, it takes incredible skill to write children's or young adult historical fiction without "writing down" to the young people, and I think the author did a nice job with balancing that here. I did think that there were some details that didn't really add up perfectly, hence 4 stars instead of 5. Nice series.
