5.0 out of 5 stars Real genealogy buff loves the history and family angle., November 21, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Family Tree (Hardcover)

I am a teacher, and I research my own family history. I loved this book. Children who feel cut off from their past will relate to Tyler's uncovering of her own past, and any child (or adult!) will love the well-woven story of Tyler's determination, courage, and eventual compassion.

5.0 out of 5 stars A heartwarming story., October 13, 1998

This review is from: Family Tree (Yearling) (Paperback)

I liked this book because it kept my attention. I like to read about the Amish. This book is from the viewpoint of an outsider. It touched many different topics; it was not just a one-theme story. I recommend it to everyone who likes realistic fiction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very well written -- heartwarming!, May 21, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Family Tree (Yearling) (Paperback)

Tyler's father has raised her with so much love and goodness that she has never pushed him for answers about her dead mother or his past. That changes with a school assignment about family trees. As Tyler uncovers her family history, readers are given many ideas regarding family values, immigration, what makes up America, tolerance, and the feelings people have about their heritage. The characters are very interesting and well-drawn; the plot moves quickly and pulls one along. A sequel would be delightful!
