5.0 out of 5 stars Great piece of Historical Fiction, July 27, 2000

A Kid's Review

This was a really great book that kept me reading for a few days. It really showed me what it was like for a Jewish girl to live through turn-of-the-century Russia. This was a summer reading book for me at school, but I'm certainly glad I read it! I would reccommend this book to any and all who are looking for a great read!

3.0 out of 5 stars The journey to freedom . . . , February 20, 2007

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Night Journey (Paperback)

This is a story about a Russian family in the time of Nicholas the Second. They are going on a journey because they want to find a new home where they won't be bullied by Nicholas the Second. But on their journey they end up running into some Russian soldiers on some of the last times I read about this happening, they pretended that one of the family members were dead and they were having a funeral. Now they are in their home but their great-grandmother has died. I thought the book was OK. One thing I liked about it is when they had the need to sneak some gold to the sentry to get to their new home. One part I didn't like was when their great-grandmother died.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good book! Worth Reading!, August 11, 1999

By A Customer

I think this is a great book but sometimes gets a little boring. It shows lots of excitement that grabs you and makes you want to read more! I really recommend this book!!
