- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Hi read this book. It’s a good one.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I was really taken by surprise with the Josefina books. I have an aversion to American Girls, and I lean heavily towards own voice. These are excellent though. This is well-researched, enjoyable historical fiction.
