In class we looked at the book Good Masters! Sweet Ladies! By Laura Amy Schlitz, and decided to have everyone do a person and perform it in front of the class. I did Petronella The Merchant’s Daughter, with Jacob Ben Solomon The Moneylenders Son (aka c16hh). We had a lot of fun doing it. We did it because our teacher was in the Newbery committee. Hope you like it!!!!

Historical Fiction Story/ Letters from Rifka

Letters from Rifka by Karen Hesse is a book about a girl’s journey to America. In this book Karen Hesse does amazing poetic sentences like: ”I shiver at the cold of Poland.” Or: “I wanted to tell this skinny, pock-faced man he was wrong.’ Isn’t that so poetic? And she involves great facts like: There are many Polish Jews. Or that Rifka goes to Antwerp. If you want a great historical fiction book, I give this two thumbs up!
