My Review:
Although this biography is written specifically for ages 12-16, I enjoyed it.
This was an interesting biography of Florence Nightingale. This book is very readable, and it includes many details from Florence’s life and career. Florence was quite a letter writer and also journaled her thoughts throughout her life. I liked that all throughout the book, we were reading many of Florence’s own words about her life. I learned some things about her that I did not know, especially about her devotion to her faith and what she felt was her calling from God. I found the section on her childhood especially of interest. As a retired teacher, I also have to mention that this would be a good biography for a book report for junior high and high school students.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
My granddaughter, Jane is reading at least 2nd grade level and this is just the kind of book I want to get her in a couple years! Thanks for the review Patti!
My first book report for a biography was in 4th grade and I chose Florence Nightingale. I haven’t forgotten my love for her and I actually have this book but haven’t read it yet. Thanks for sharing!
