Summary: The Coffin Quilt
Review: The Coffin Quilt is really touching. It is sad and unforgettable. The way that it has a point of view is really nice. Some girls can really relate to this. Fanny McCoy really likes to tell how she feels. She doesn't hide her feelings. She says everything we wish we could to teachers,parents, and family. She has a lot of feelings that can describe how young girls feel at times. Ann Rinaldi is a fabulous author!

Summary: my review
Review: The coffin Quilt is the story of the hatfielf-McCoy fued through the eyes of the youngest McCoy. Fanny McCoy is 7 years old when this story begins. She idolizes her sister Ro. This leads to lots of conflit internal and external. The story is filled with young love when a McCoy and a Hatfield fall inlove. Both families don't want them to be together and that makes for some great drama. This is an interesting book that will keep you wanting to know more. You can't put it down once you start it. It's a very good quick read for anyone!

Summary: The Coffin Quilt
Review: The Coffin Qult by Ann Rinaldi is a very exicting, action packed book. When I was reading it, I could not stop. With all of the killings and fights, how could you put it down. What really was weird, was that the family only came close when somone was real sick, or just died. It's knd of weird that your family can only get along when somone dies. The best part of the book was how the whole fued started and what the Hatefields did to show their point. I would suggest this book to anyone who wants a good action packed book.

Summary: Coffin Quilt as Kentucky heritage
Review: The plot of The Coffin Quilt is a battle between feuding families, fueled by the romance between a couple that crosses the boundary. It is an Appalachian "Romeo and Juliet" story in the setting of the 1880's mountainous terrain of eastern Kentucky and West Virginia involving the Hatfield and McCoy conflict. Being of Appalachian heritage myself I find this is another well written and well researched Ann Rinaldi story.

Summary: Another great book by Ann Rinaldi.
Review: This is another great book by Ann Rinaldi. In telling the story of the Hatfield-McCoy feud, she uses the voice of Fanny McCoy, the youngest of the McCoy children, whose entire childhood was taken up by and destroyed by the feud. When she was born in 1873, tensions were already high, and renewed over a theft when Fanny was five. Two years later, when Fanny's favorite sister, Roseanna, has an affair with a Hatfield, tensions explode. Over the next ten years, Fanny loses numerous family members to the feud - a sister, several brothers, nearly her mother, who barely survives, Roseanna, who dies of grief - and she loses all chances of a happy and normal childhood as she alternatley mourns her family and fumes with anger. More than just a story of this famous feud, THE COFFIN QUILT was also a portrait of a young girl who tries to rise about the hatred and violence she is surrounded by as she grows up.
