Summary: Rebekah's Big Dreams
Review: I rate this book, Land of Hope, one out of five stars. I disliked this book because to me, the story was too boring and obvious. Immediately, if you read about it, it says that the main character is struggling for her dream. It's obvious that in the end she'll end up achieving it. The story line was also boring because it was way too trivial and childlike. Because the characters didn't relly come to live and because the supporting characters really aren't there to support it seems to lose any interest it really held. The plot could've been better had it more depth. There must be a million books like this out but much more intersting. Life in A New Country, which is part of the Dear America series is also about a jewish girl who is immagrated to America, only it is better. Overall, I really wouldn't recommend this book to anyone but since it is so short it probably woudln't take long to read. If it is used to see what it was like in Ellis Island around that time I don't think it would be a good reference. Although the facts seem real,there really isn't much fact in it.

Review: I recieved this book as a present in 5th grade. i read it and loved it, it was only until now in 11th grade i recieved an assignment on immigration where we had to incorporate a novel with history. I remembered my favorite book Land Of Hope, so i chose to read it again and even though the reading level was for someone much younger i still loved it.

Summary: In order to survive Rebekah's family moved to America .
Review: Land of Hope is a very realistic book. It tells the reader about what it was like to be a Russian Jew traveling steerage class on a boat to Ellis Island. It also describes realistically what it was like to be a refuguee. This is a very good book. I would reccomend it to everyone who likes to read. Tara Kavaler 5th grade

Summary: Land of Hope (Its Grate!!!)
Review: Land of Hope
By, Joan L. Nixon This book is about a Jewish girl named Rebekah Levinsky and her family traveling to America. She has a mother, Father, a brother named Nessin, a brother named Jacob, a sister named Sofia, and a grandfather named Mordecai. When her family gets on the long boat ride to America, problems start. Though the trip is bad Rebekah makes friends on the trip. Reabekah starts to see that this trip might not be so bad. But once they get off the ship, there are a lot more problems to go. To see here the end of this book read Land of Hope or some of the other books written by Joan Nixon. I liked this book because it was very fast pace and exciting. I think a lot of young girls out there would like it. Joan Nixion is a very good, talented writer. If you like romantic, exciting, and hart-braking books, you will probably love this one too. Take it from me, this book started out to be a book report, but I really liked it. Nixon has also written many other books like this that I am really positive you will like them!

Summary: Rebekah's Big Dreams
Review: Rebekah's Big Dreams This book was about a Jewish family, The Levinsky's, who are escaping Russia to start a new, fresh start in America. They get to sail on a big ship, but their grandfather does not get to stay because he does not pass inspections. They must leave with out him. Rebekah gives the rest of the money to him so he can save up to come back to America later. When, they get to America , it is not the dream they were expecting. Rebekah wants to go to school, but she has to stay home to make a living for her family. She waits and whines for what seems like forever so read this book to see what happens. I thought this was a good book because it shows that even if you are poor you can still have dreams.
