A cute story describing life in rural Vermont in the 1800's.

I have really mixed feelings about this book. I very much liked all the information about the bonobos. I also enjoyed reading a story set in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a country I don't know a lot about. However, I had a really hard time with Sophie's choice of not going with the U.N. van when she had the option. I thought it was selfish of her in a way. I think if she had been older than 14 I would have reacted better. Also, when I was younger, I probably would not have reacted as angrily. I think I would have thought she was brave.

Not bad. Better than some of the other recent outings in the series.

I read this book and was cheering for the bomb to be built in time without it getting into the hands of others...and then bawled when I remembered exactly what it was I was rooting for.

Oh yeah, I read it. :)
