"Enticing from the first sentence." --New York Times Book Review "Baldwin has a winning series here: her characters are intriguing and fully rendered." --Booklist "Fans of Celia Rees's Pirates! will enjoy this tale of action and derring-do. An outstanding alternative history series entry and a must-have for teen libraries." --School Library Journal "Once again, Kathleen Baldwin takes us on an amazing journey through an alternate event in history. I really love her take on historical events and the significant part young people play in the fight for freedom and peace. The story is full of adventure, and is both well-written and a delight to read. More than the thriller and romance parts, this story is also about sisterhood and friendship among the five girls.... I enjoyed this story immensely and I closed my kindle with a satisfied sigh. I can't wait to read the next book in the series!" --YAinsider.com Number of Pages: 352 Genre: Juvenile Fiction Sub-Genre: Historical Series Title: Stranje House Format: Hardcover Publisher: Tor Teen Age Range: Adult Book theme: Europe Author: Kathleen Baldwin Language: English Estimated shipping dimensions: 5.8INCH X 8.3INCH X 1.0INCH DPCI : 248-30-0566 UPC : 9780765376046 TCIN : 51701123 Estimated shippimg weight: 0.95POUND
