 Are you interested in history and adventure? You are, then The Starving Time would be a great book for you! This book will leave you anxious, nail biting and speechless. This book is about a family living on an island far away from their homeland. Will all of their family members make it through the tough harsh winter? Read this book and you will find out! Some of the main characters in this book are Elizabeth, Mary, and John, Elizabeth’s mother and father and many others. My favorite character is Elizabeth because she is adventurous, mysterious and unstoppable. I also think you should read this book because it is thrilling it is like you are on a roller coaster ride and you will never get off until you finish the book, it is so mysterious! I could never put it down! I would recommend this book to any 3rd –6th graders who love the olden days and New York history. This book’s genre is historical fiction. I can connect to this book when I learn about people in the past in my Social Studies class, like the Revolutionary War and different Indian tribes. If you are a bookworm and love reading suspenseful long overloading exciting books then this one is right for you!
