A Step Back in Time!!!!!!!!

This book was awesome. You should read a stitch in time first.The whole idea of the book was really cool. This is definite must to read. If you love historical fiction this is the book for you.

A must read for history lovers!

I really think people should read this book. I liked the first one better but this one is just as good. Heres a summary:After her mom dies, walking brezee comes to live with the chelfsfold family. But Ebie (the narator) doesn't believe she is really related to them. But Walking Brezee brings Thankfuls quilt (the sisters were working on one in the first book). Ebie still thinks she's an imposter so she hides the quilt.I won't give away anymore! But if you liked the first book you'll like this one too!

The Best of the Quilt Trilogy

Broken Days was definitely the best out of the Quilt Trilogy Books. It was so adventurous. A Stitch in Time wasn't great, but I totally think Broken Days was the best! I would definitely recommend this book because it is so real and it keeps continuing with the Chelmsford family.

Broken Days

Broken days is on of the best and most compelling books I have ever read. I enjoyed the real life characters but I most like Ann Rinaldi's writing style. She gives vivid, descriptive words that make me feel like I aws really there in the story. And this comes from the mouth of a 9 year old that read this with no questions of meanings of words asked,just of wonder and amazment.

I loved it. The author expressed Ebie's feelings well.

ann rinaldi must have studied that time period very much. she must have known what it was like. she described it well, and i think the book should receive a newberry award.
