moseso posted a new student review of Ship of Dolls by Shirley Parenteau. See the
full review.
This book is extremely entertaining and will have you on the edge of your seat until the end. The setting is Portland, Oregon in 1926. The main character, Lexie, is eleven. Even though she is fictional, the way the book is written truly helps you feel and understand what she is feeling. Lexie seems realistic and is easy to relate to. When she writes the letter, her perseverance is obvious and sets a good example of what everyone should do. Written for girl ages 10 to 13, Ship of Dolls will definitely become one of your favorites!
