Official Review: Maddie's Chronicle by Daniel O Stuhlman

[kandscreeley]

This sounds like a very sweet story taking place in a time period that was so much simpler. Books like this often make me wish I'd lived back then. Thanks. Sounds wonderful.

Sounds like a great way to learn about a formative time in American history. I always seem to absorb more facts when I have some emotional investment in the characters.

I enjoyed the history part. It was interesting to read some history about California before the Gold Rush.

Time travel still hasn't been perfected. Guess we'll just to live those times through the books we read!

The cover design made me think this was a children's book! Your review proved otherwise and it sounds like it was a really good book. I'm an artist and I love historical romance, so I think I'll enjoy this story because its set in the 1800s and contains art. I'm curious about the symbol you mentioned. I wonder what it looked like and what it represented...

Historical romance has always been an interesting genre. California in the 1800's seen through the eyes of a growing child would surely make for an interesting read!

The incorporation of the symbol was a unique way to introduce some mystery into the story. It was very well done.

Are any of the drawings actually in the book for the reader to see? I thought this was going to be a whimsical bed time story for children based on the cover art. I don't like when the cover art completely misleads. Although I like the cover, it doesn't seem to suit the book much at all. Nice review. Don't think this one is for me though.

The only illustration is a sketch of the symbol that has Maddie intrigued. It is actually used, in the book, as a way to separate sections in some of the chapters.

wow, just can't wait to lay hold of it
