Switching Well

Rating:
Summary: A "Must Read" Book
Review: I thought this boom would be very bnoring at the start, because this was an assignment given to me by a teacher. Then, I began to read it, and I couldn't put it down! I always thought that "old time" books were about cowboys and rights and hard labor, but this one probably covered everything! It also has a lot of humor, suspense, and funny words.

Summary: Good Book!
Review: Switching Well by Peni R. Griffin has two main characters. The first is twelve-year-old Ada Bauer, who lives in San Antonio, Texas, in 1891. Women in her time are not considered as important as men, and her father thinks so. Her teacher was tempted to fail her essay about a woman's rights. So she goes to the Haunted Lot and wishes in the well to live a hundred years in the future. The second main character is twelve-year-old Amber Burak, who also lives in San Antonio, but in 1991. Her parents are thinking about getting divorced, and she seems to be the last to know. She, too, goes to the Haunted Lot and wishes in the well that she lived a hundred years in the past. Ada and Amber switch places and are completely confused in their new lives. They try to wish themselves back home, but it doesn't work. The longer they stay a hundred years away, they wonder if they will ever be able to get home.

Summary: THIS BOOK IS SO GOOD
Review: Switching Well, a book about two girls living in the same city 100 years who are mysteriously switched, is one of the best books I've ever read! If you have never read this book, you should. It gives an accurate portrayal of two "orphan"s in two different centuries, each trying to adjust to the conveiniences (or not) of their new century. This book is denfinately a must read.

Summary: A "Must Read" Book
Review: Yes, you must read it. This book tells about two girls that live 100 years apart that think that life in 100 years or 100 years ago will be better than the life they lead. So, while Amber is transported back in time, Ada is transported forward in time with the help of a mysterious wishing well. Both girls must go to orphanages, as they have no family in this strange time, and both figure out that life in either time isn't what they thought it would be. Now they long for home. But they have one problem. How in the world are they going to get home?
A book filled with suspense and fantasy is the best book, in my mind. The only thing wrong with this one: the author never reveals what creature was in the well. Still, I would highly recomend this book for anyone who loves fantasy.
