I love Helen Frost's books! I'm so glad this one was added to the list!
I thought this was a fantastic book. I loved the way Frost took two very important events – the War and women’s rights – and intertwined them into a beautiful story.
I had a hard time understanding the verse, but Frost’s “Notes on the Form” at the end of the book shed light on that for me, and even made me head back again for a second look. I hold this book in an even higher respect due to the time, effort, and creativity Frost put into the “cupped-hand sonnets” of Ollie and Emma.
This is right up there with When You Reach Me for my top pick.
