Official Review: River Kids by Jennie Linnane

[Oyedeji Okikioluwa]

I love the plot and the way the author relates different characters with their strength is really interesting. Nice review.

The characters sound full of personality, I love books that have realistic characters. I'm not quite into the World War II aspect, since like mentioned in this review, there is loss and sad moments.
Great review.

I love stories with good characters. I read one of her other books and enjoyed it as well. Thank you for the wonderful review!

[ciecheesemeister]

I reviewed another of this author's books, Ironbark Hill. She is a very skilled storyteller. I imagine I would enjoy this book as well. Thank you for your review.

I am definitely reading this, I love a good historical fiction and this is one. It's free for today so thanks. Congratulations on BOTD. Thanks for your review.

Authentic characters in a coming of age story sounds like a great book. I look forward to reading this one!

A time when children played outside on the road and in the bushes! Ah, it makes me so happy to recall my own childhood. This looks like the story of a simpler time. Of how without the channels of communication that are available now, it took news long to travel and it was easier to shield children from the world until a time when they are old enough to participate in it. This is a book I will definitely be reading! Absolutely lovely review!

I like reading a book every now and again that's thoroughly wholesome, and this sounds like it's sure to be that. It sounds like there are quite a few good stories and characters in this book. I like learning about history in this context. Overall it seems like something I would enjoy.

A coming of age story amidst war must be frightening to anybody, much more to a young girl. From the highest rating accorded by the reviewer, this novel seemed to be well-written so congrats!

Another mind-blowing read from Jennie Linnane. I know this book is going to be interesting.

Congrats to Jennie Linnane on her BOTD honors. I love historical fiction, so River Kids would be hard for me to refuse. Well done.

If this story is anything like “Ironbark Hill,” another of the author’s books, I imagine I will love it! The author’s writing is truly poetic, and though the content was somber, the writing style made it absolutely beautiful. Thanks for the review!

I Love the Historical Elements Interwoven in the Book. I'll Love to add this book Up, & Moreso, Family Happiness is what eventually results to World's Happiness..

Just from reading the first chapter of The River Kids, I was immediately transported into a different time. While I never experienced this lifestyle, I could easily picture how it would be and feel. The writing immediately brought me back to my childhood where we were all carefree and would do nothing but play all the time. My cousins and I loved to play outside and we had a lot of land to play on. This made me imagine how carefree the children were even in a time of such stress and turmoil. It easily portrayed how children don't see things the same as adults. The imagery in this book is fantastic!
