Customer Reviews

Very Good book!!!!!!!

I enjoyed Land of Dreams very much, and only wish I knew what happenrd next. I thought that Kristin was very brave to stand up forhe beleived in.

This book was AWESOME!! I LOVE it!!

This book is the coninuation of Lond of Hope. This book is about Kristin and how her family move into a society where they don't speak Englsih (much to Kristin's dissatisfaction) and they speak their native tongue, Swedish. Kristin meets a lot of people, and one of them is a lady, who wasn't married (much to the Swedish wives disapporval) and who fought for women's rights to vote. Kristin meets her and thinks exactly the same thing. Why can't women vote, why can't they take a swim in the lake when they want to cool off, and why can't they wear woman's trousers? All of these questions Kristin wants an answer to, but unfortunatally, her mother and father want to hear nothing about it. This book is sooooo good. I couldn't put it down. I love how Kristin is so different and how she doesn't let other people out her down and how she does what she wants. I also loved to read about the relationship between her and Jonhus (I forget how you spell it, sorry) grow. Nixon did great on this book. I love it!

ANY BOOK OF J>NIXONS IS 5 STARS!

I thought this was one of J.Nixons best books. I think it is very good and keeps you on your toes! I especially liked Tim!! And I wish I could of learned what happened after that book! Enjoy!

I think it's a great book!!!!

In this great book Kristin Swensen has to immigrate to the United States O f America. Kristen is a nonproper girl. At first she hates it, but then she meets a young man named Johan. I really recomend this book and all other books writen by Joan Lowery Nixon!!!!
