My friend from Jess' Mix of Doll Pics gave a bookstore gift card, so I bought Marie-Grace and the Orphans and Marie-Grace Makes a Difference. So here's my Marie-Grace and the Orphans review.
(summary from AG)Marie-Grace can't believe what she finds on her doorstep one rainy night- a baby! More than anything, Marie-Grace hopes her father will let the little boy stay with them. But when a slave catcher comes looking for him, Marie-Grace realizes the baby is in terrible danger. Together, she and her friend Cecile come up with a way to keep the child safe. Just when Marie-Grace thinks their plan will, work, rumors of a deadly fever begin to swirl through New Orleans. Soon Marie-Grace wonders of anyone will be safe.
Overall this was an incredible book! The story kept moving and it was just perfectly descriptive. Sometimes books are a little overly descriptive to the point where I lose interest, but this book was again, perfect. My only flaw was the little white-lies Marie-Grace and her father say. Marie-Grace's father lies to the slave trader to help the baby; however, it doesn't excuse it. It's still in the book and sets an example for the readers. But, other than that, I would totally recommend it.
