Catherine, Called Birdy


Last night, I finished reading Catherine, Called Birdy. It was a really interesting historical fiction book. It's written in journal-form by a young girl in medieval times. She writes about how the things that she wants in life conflict with what her father wants for her (and himself, really.) She is a fiesty character too! You really get a lot of information on what life would have been like then. This book was a Newberry Honor book by the same Newberry Medal winner, Karen Kushman (for The Midwife's Apprentice.)
