Review of 'Catherine, called Birdy' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

This was a good book. I'm going to get a bit critical, but please don't let me forget that this is a good book.

My biggest problem is the age it is written for. The writing style seems to be geared towards children, but the topics it discusses are more appropriate for adults.

The storyline was interesting and the book had some funny parts. On the whole, I'm giving it three stars. It's a good book.
