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!!!!!
