Wonderful story of strength and not giving up,
By Nina (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nobody's Girl (Library Binding)
I just recently finished reading this book. Once I started I didn't want to put it down. This is about a 13 year old girl who goes through a lot of painful changes in her life before finding her grandfather. Even in this there are secrets. She has to find a way for her grandfather to love her before she reveals who she really is.

Dickens for children,
By Susan J. Gordon "devotee of great children's ... (Lambertville, NJ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Nobody's Girl (Library Binding)
I first read this book as a young child and have been rereading it once a year ever since. I'm now in my 50s, so you can appreciate the impact this novel of an orphan girl's trials in 19th-century France had upon me. How marvelous were her adventures with her beloved donkey Palikare, her Robinson Crusoe-like existence in a secret hut on an island, and her experiences as a factory girl. This section of the novel allowed the author to explore with great sympathy the miserable plight of the worker in France. All in all, a lyrical, exciting tale that transports the reader into the fully-realized world of a kind, resourceful, and honorable child. Oh, I love this book.
