When i received an email to review this book i was ecstatic! Its my first book i got sent to me to be reviewed,and its such an honor. I was excited to read this book, but when i read it i found out its not my usual cup of tea..I absolutely love the story line, a guy coming from England and falling in love with an American Girl. I think the point that made it not as enjoyable for me is its such a younge age. If it was set around an older audience and had more adventure than just the local bully it would have been great! Also the Vocab idea was great, i loved the comparisons, but some of them i got a little confused with, and after a while it got tedious! I would suggest this to a younger audience- pre-teen era!!

Thank you for the review, sorry you foud it "tedious" It's intereting you think "pre-teen" when many older people I mean mothers of children and people from 10 to 80 are enjoying the book. Still I am glad at least it has started you on the review trail.
Thank you once again
