Reviews
Eva Ibbotson has made some very high-standards books; from Journey to the River Sea to The Star of Kazan. Many children and adults enjoy these books. The Dragonfly Pool is just as captivating as these. Data: Fiction Recommended to children (adults too) of any age by me. About a girl called Tally who is quite poor who goes to a boarding school and goes to a place called Bergania for a folk-dancing festival. Set during the war.

I really like this book and when I started reading it I couldn't put it down! It was so captivating and I love the style of it; it's about WW2. I like Tally the best because she is the main character and she is similar to me. It interested me as it mentioned what evacuation was like in WW2. I would definitely recommend it to other people because it is so interesting and enjoyable at the same time and it is a real page-turner.

This book was an amazingly emotional book that had me in tears. The characters had great depth and the book was full of plot twists my favorite character is Tally as she is a very strong girl that sticks up for what she thinks is right. I would recommend this to all my friends as I think that it is a book for all people to enjoy no matter what their age or likes.
