Review: Kirsten Saves the Day: A Summer Story Book Review : I read the book KIRSTEN SAVES THE DAY: A SUMMER STORY for my class book review. This book is great. It is about a ten-year-old girl named Kirsten, and her adventures in the summer of 1854. In the beginning, Kirsten, her brother, and their dog walked through the woods to a river. Her mother asked her to catch nine fish for dinner. Kirsten only caught one fish and that is when the adventure began. I learn some interesting facts. Trees were turned into log cabins, barns, fences, and farm tools. Also, settlers had to store enough food to eat in the winter. They often washed dishes outside and they ate outside, too. I would recommend this book for three reasons. First, if you like interesting historical fiction books in 1854, then you will like KIRSTEN SAVES THE DAY: A SUMMER STORY. Second, Kirsten was very adventurous on her journey in the woods. Finally, Kirsten finds a surprise in the woods. KIRSTEN SAVES THE DAY: A SUMMER STORY is a FANTASTIC book!!!
