Great books for parents to read with their children.
It was a little funny, exciting and sad because when they had to leave their caretakers because they spent 5 years with them.
This book made me feel Amused
I think this book was ok, The setting and description was good but I found it kinda slow-paced. Eventually there was something pretty cool when you didn't expect it (I won't spoil it for you though) other than that the book was a bit predictable. :|

Brilliant
I loved it, it was brilliant. It's a good story. I liked Carrie's brother Nick, he was always eating. He was always hungry because of rationing. I liked Hepzibah because she was nice and made good apple pies.
