A Northern Light

A Northern Light was written by Jennifer Donnelly. It is a fictional story. I chose this book because I had just read Revolution that was written by the same author and I loved it.

In this book Mattie Gokey wanted to go to college. But her mother died and she is needed to help take care of her sisters and the farm because her older brother ran away after their mom died. So Mattie gives up and decieds to stay and marry Royal. Untill Grace Brown dies, she finds a secret about Royal, and she finds out her teachers secret.

I liked the suspense of this book, I also liked that this book was historical fiction. I disliked how Matties cow dies. This book is appropriate for ages 13+. If you read and liked Revolution you will definatly love this book.
