Just done with my 89th Goodreads book challenge for this year. Here’s my short review on Goodreads.
I am giving this five stars. Wow, what a great read! A story of two kids who survived the Peshtigo fire in Wisconsin, the greatest fire in American history in 1871 and a six-year old orphan, a survivor from a Chicago fire on the same day. A story of struggles and triumphs, a story of ups and downs, a story of survival. 
Tess Hilmo is on my list of newly discovered authors. She writes a wonderful story, amazing children’s dialogue. The characters are fictional but the events were based on true stories. I am always drawn to historical fiction. I find them even more arresting to read than your run of the mill romances. I wish I could find more books like this. Eleven more books to go and I’m done. How lovely it is when you find a book this good.
