I Lived on Butterfly Hill-Marjorie Agostin Review

I got this for my daughter for her Individuals in Society class (that’s like Social Studies in the US).

Of course, as an optional school book, she opted out! I loved it. Vivid and heartfelt it was both a peek into the troubling time of Pinochet in Chile (a time and place I guess not many 11yr olds know about) and a lovely journey into the life of a young girl. I suggest it as a great one to read out loud for younger to mid-level MG readers. Added bonus, you’ll love it too.
