Blue Door: Quilt Trilogy

Rating:
Summary: Very good book, but not my favorite
Review: The Blue Door was a very good book, with great characters, but it was my least favorite of the trilogy. It seemed to me to be slower and I thought the characters were a little better developed in A Stitch in time and broken days. Still if you read the other ones this book is well worth your time! It does wrap up the trilogy very nicely.

Summary: My favorite book in The Quilt Trilogy.
Review: THE BLUE DOOR was my favorite book in The Quilt Trilogy by Ann Rinaldi. In it, 14 year old Amanda, who is from a Southern plantation, is sent North to Lowell, Massachusetts, by her grandmother Abigail, to make peace with the father Abigail left to marry a Southerner. Only the steamboat Amanda is on explodes. Everyone thinks Amanda is dead. She must pretend she is a worker in her own great grandfather's mill until she can prove who she is. But will she be able to?

Summary: Great historical boook, KEEPS THE PAGES TURNING!
Review: This is a great book, mixed with historical facts. The book went too fast! This book is inspiring, and it taught me that silence can be a wonderful virture. I loved this book. It's a quick read.

Rating:
Summary: A good book about friendship.
Review: This is not Ann Rinaldi's best work, though I enjoyed it for the story it has to tell. The author is much more enjoyable to read when she is writing about historical episodes. I have read seven of her books and rank this among the two I like least. For a good introduction of Ann Rinaldi's work, start with "The Last Silk Dress," which I have read four times

Summary: This book is AWSOME!! It keeps the pages turning!!
Review: When Amanda Videau is sent North to Lowell by her grandmother Abigal who is Nathenial Chelsmford's long, lost daughter she has many great adventures. I think this book really shows how talented Ann Rinaldi is and how she puts history in her books. The other books in the trilogy were good, but this was the best. It is a very good ending to the trilogy, but I think it would be neat if Ann Rinaldi wrote some more books to go to the trilogy.
