Summary: Fiction or Nonfiction?
Review: I checked this book out from the library and was thrilled to read it. I read the first chapter and found it interesting but seemingly written for younger readers. I kept reading and came across this sentence on page 39: "Carefully, she placed the two letters with her manuscript on top of her clothes, zipped the bag shut, and walked out of her room." The person this sentence refers to is Phyllis Wheatley, a woman packing her bag for a trip in 1773. Zippers weren't invented until 1893. This left a bad taste in my mouth, and I lost interest in the book. I wondered what else could be wrong and how many liberties had been taken to make it entertaining. I never finished it, and concider it young adult fiction.
