Reviews

[Naomi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Through the eyes of young family member, readers experience wireless radios, union strikes, women's suffrage, immigration hardships, the Titanic, and more through the continuing saga of the fictional Aldrich family. Historical endnotes provide further insight.

Death and grief are covered, due to the Titanic's infamous maiden voyage and the harsh realities of poor immigrant travels.

Christian parents and educators should note that Ouija boards are introduced, with the verdict that trickery, not spirits, is the moving force.
