Summary: Dreaming of America
Review: Dreaming of America


Eve Bunting wrote the original copy of the true story Dreaming of America. This book is for kids in their middle childhood. The book was published by Bridge Water Paperbacks.
The main character is a girl, who is from Ireland, who's name is Annie. Annie and her two brothers, Philip and Anthony, are on their way to America on the SS Nevada. I have missed my mom and dad just like in the book. The most interesting thing in the book is Annie's 15th birthday present. The least interesting thing in the book is when Annie doesn't let Philip do something in their cabin.
I like this book because there are no unanswered questions or problems. I especially liked this book because they went to America on a boat! That's why I think you should read this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful
Review: This book is wonderful. The story is a classic example of the pain and hardship of coming to America. The graphics are beautifully done and combine both drawings as well as real pictures of the period. It brings the history of the period to life. Highly recommended.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An inspiring true story
Review: What an emotional, inspiring story of the first Ellis Island immigrant -- a girl from Ireland who journeyed to America with her two younger brothers. This award-winning book is graced with beautiful illustrations as well as rare historic photos. An involving story by Eve Bunting that is a tribute to all immigrants who have helped make America great.
