- Everything is great.
I'm 10 years old. I really love this book. Eleanor was beautiful bothinside and outside. She loved poetry, music, and art. She was strong andalways fought bravely. She was a pioneer feminist.
I want to live likeEleanor. After 15 years a prisoner of the English Crown, she didn't loseanything. It's the real proud taste I want. Mrs. Konigsburg is Great!

- Heaven!
I have been looking for this book for well over 20 years and am ecstatic at having found it at the press of a button. My mother always told me stories of history and got me interested, so when my teacher recommended this book in about 1975 at the International School of Geneva (I nearly called the junior library there to find out if they still have it!), I gobbled it up and it's stayed as my favourite history book ever since - the elegant black cat I had later for many years was named Eleanor in this book's honour.

I really liked this book. It gives you a real-life veiw of the Middle ages,and is interesting. I don't think that the age that Amazon put on this book is correct. Kids that young won't understand it or enjoy it. This is one of my favorite books!!

Rating:

- A book that turns historical information into comedy
I had to read this book for my 7th grade class and in my opinion, this book was only good for its informative history. By trying to make this book look funny isn't really a good way to make the reader become more impressed. There are more book for reading pleasure; only read this one if it's for information.
