Customer Reviews

good book for preteen girls

This was the first Sunfire I read. I got it in a book pack in the sixth grade. I was planning on reading the other books, but not Danielle, because I thought the cover looked so flaky. I figured Danielle was a cheap floozy without a brain and that it must be a boring book. After my best friend assured me it was good, I gave it a try and really enjoyed it. I have since read a few other sunfires and learned a lot about American history. I normally hate learning about the history of any country, but these books got me interested. I wish they would come back in print, especiallly Danielle, Laura, and Emily.

Danielle

Danielle was a marvelous story. I was so surprised by the ending, I loved it, although I didn't really understand it. When she was hiding in the swamp, my gosh, I read that page again and again every time feeling overwhelmed with fear for Danielle. Sure she was kind of irritating, but she was a real girl. Even though all the other reviewer said it was predictable, I completely missed it!

Cool book!
