A review by protoman21
The Loud Silence of Francine Green by Karen Cushman

4.0

I love reading these works of historical fiction from a child's point of view, because it really shows what it was like growing up in this time. Francine is able to explore the world for the first time and understand and come to terms with difficult situations like communism and standing up for oneself. Sophie is a dynamic and exciting character and I imagine young girls who read this book will want her as a friend...even if she does get them in trouble sometimes.
