This book is about a young girl, Rachael who is sent to England and away from her family because of an out break of influenza. The author uses a lot of imagery that is great in helping depict each ales mood in the story. The story can teach children how to be brave and courageous like Rachael!

The language in this book is sure to appeal to the adult but the story of loss, hope, deception and determination will appeal to adult and child alike. Rachel overcoming devastating adversity for ultimate triumph will warm you heart. Perfect for the 9 and up crowd. A great read aloud book for the family.
