Book Reviews of When Jessie Came Across the Sea

Book Review: Never read anything like!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

When Jessie Came Across the Sea teaches a lot about history. It explains about immigration. Immigration is moving from one country to another. Jessie immigrated from a small, poor village. She wasn't happy to leave her elderly grandmother.
She met a guy named Lou on the ship to America. She lost touch with him on the mainland. They found each other in a park on a winter day. They dated for a couple of months. Then Lou proposed to Jessie.
The ending was great!!! Jessie's grandmother came to America live with her. This book was AWESOME!!!!!

Summary of When Jessie Came Across the Sea

"Hest simply and faithfully holds a mirror to the milestone event for millions of turn-of-the-century immigrants."- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred review)

When a young girl from a poor eastern European village learns that she must leave her beloved grandmother for a new life - and a new love - in America, they both feel that their hearts will break. The sure and inspired narrative by award-winning author Amy Hest is paired with paintings by P.J. Lynch that glow with warmth and carefully observed detail, creating an unforgettable tribute to the immigrant experience.
