Forge by Laurie Halse Anderson

Love this series.  It's hard to put these books down long enough to eat, drink, or sleep.   Once I get started reading them I just can not stop.  I enjoyed these books quite a bit.

This book is written in Curzon's point of view instead of Isabel's.  It was good to see through his eyes the happenings of Valley Forge.  I would not have liked to have been at Valley Forge.  I had no idea about the happenings that went on at that time.  I learned a lot and have much sympathy for the soldiers and for slaves.  Laurie Halse Anderson sure can create wonderful characters that it is hard not to like them.  It's hard not to pull for them as they go about the story.

I look forward to the next book (not out yet) called, "Ashes."  I might be like my kids on a vacation trip in the car..."Are we there yet?" or in this case..."Is it published yet?"
