    I loved this book because it was historical fiction. It is mostly for girls but boys too.

    I really liked this book! I agree that this book is more for a girl considering the main characters are girls and they go to an all girls school but a boy might enjoy it just as much as I did. Who Knows? Anyways, this book was great and I couldn't put it down, I always wanted to find out what was going to happen next. A 4.5 out of 5!

    i wasn't crazy about this book. in the beginning i liked it and i figured it was going to go somewhere within, you know, maybe 100 pages.
    it never did. it got boring and it didn't go anywhere. i ended up abandoning it a while after the nuns took away francine's friend's trophy.
