Title: Great book!
Review: This was a teriffic book! Ms. Haddix made everything seem so real in Jessie's quest to escape from Clifton to get medicine for her sister and all the other dying children. You see, Jessie thinks she lives in 1840, in a small village called Clifton. But really, Jessie lives in 1996, in a tourist site where people can come and watch her do her chores, etc. When a diphtheria epidemic strikes the village, Jessie's mother tells her the truth, and sends her out to 1996 to find medicine for the children. Right before she leaves, Jessie's sister comes down with it, which makes Jessie try even harder. This is a great book about learning a new culture and trying to fit in. It might not strike you immeaditly, but this is a book about fitting in, as well as murder and trying to get help. This is a book that you will love for many years to come!
