Book Reviews of Listening for Lions

Book Review: A must read for all 4-6th grade girls and even boys!
Summary: 5 Stars

I absolutely loved this book. It was elegantly written, with just the perfect amount of detail for this age group. I hope every mother and daughter have a chance to read this book aloud together, and discuss Rachel's life. It is such a warm, "girl power" book, you can't help but be inspried by Rachel's determination and love for her home in Africa.

Summary of Listening for Lions

Historical fiction with a wicked twist.

Listening for Lions is a breathtaking story of tragedy, deception, and triumph against all odds. National Book Award-winning author Gloria Whelan sets this richly historical coming-of-age adventure in British East Africa in the year 1918.

This irresistible novel entangles an orphaned girl in a deceit filled plot. Young Rachel Sheridan is made to leave her beloved Africa for England, where she must pose as the deceased daughter of a nefarious couple in an effort to gain them an enormous inheritance. Her irrepressible spirit and extraordinary wit turn her from victim to heroine in a surprising and empowering tale of a remarkable young woman.
