Kyra Greenaway 1st period. Something I found interesting is that they had cars so early in time. I thought they came out way later than it said in the book. I knew they had old bumpy cars in the early 20th century, but I thought they came out in like the 30s. I kinda found this interesting because my gram lived back then and now I can ask her about that kind of stuff.

Hey, it's Rachael Owens from 3rd period. And, I agree with you Kyra. I had no idea that cars were invented that early. And, they had to wind them up for 10 minutes! I found it interesting that the author started the book in 1916. Then, the very next chapter took place back at the time of the Civil War! I almost had to assume that the speaker in that chapter was the grandmother from the first chapter, then I put the names together and figured it out. Somethings said in the book, are kind of confusing to me. Such as, Delphine's sayings, and some of the ways they talk. But otherwise, I am in love with this book!

Hey it's Morgan Bittner from 7th period! I agree with Kyra. too it is pretty surprising that cars were invented so early! i did the same thing as you too Rachael! I found it weird how the author did that. I find the things that Cass sees interesting and i think that they will end up being a big part of something somewhere in the book. Delphine's sayings are a little confusing but this is during the civil war. I actually really like the ways they talk for some reason, it just adds something for me i guess. i really like this book so far!

Hey! It's Rachael from 3rd period. I recently finished the book yesterday! I loved it so much, I am MAKING my sister read it! She's really into the Civil War, so I thought it would be a great choice to read. Anyways, I loved this book. It was fantastic! The ending has a twist to it, but I'm not going to say too much. It's very captivating, and it makes you want to keep reading. Once you've finished this book, make sure to read the last 2 sections, chapter 15, and the authors note. He explains everything such as, the language in the story, and the reason for somethings. That may help you Morgan!

Hey Kyra Greenaway 1st pd! The book so far is OK but I'm not liking it too, too much. It's OK I guess, like it's not painful to read but I'm not really loving it as much as you Rachael. I don't know if it's just the way it's written or what, but I'm not too hot about it... I also just don't like the characters in it. I find them to be a little annoying. I don't know why I just do. Tilly is probably my least favorite though. I think it's just how I see her. I see her as a girl with a high squeaky voice that's really clingy... I really don't know why I see her like that though. But I'm glad that you enjoyed it, Rachael ^^

Hey, it's Rachael from 3rd period, again! In my opinion, Tilly is not a girl with a high squeaky voice, to me, that sounds more like Delphine. Tilly to me seems to be a strong, level headed girl, trying to find her place in this time of war. Once Delphine comes along, she seems to, "put some starch in Tilly's spine", as Tilly would say. In the beginning of the book, when Tilly goes to check on Cass, she tries her best to be big sisterly, but it doesn't come out the way she wants it to. Which, I can understand, since I am a big sister. Delphine comes and brings a little life to the house hold, and makes things more interesting for Tilly, I think. The character I probably enjoy the most, is Tilly or Calinda, even though she doesn't speak very often, she has a little spark in her that I just enjoy reading on!
