Lyddie

Reader reviewed by Bo-Bo

Lyddie started out as a wondeful book about an inocent farm girl, but turned into a sexual story that is unfair for children to read. People are required to read this and I for one do not think that this is a school book. This book is very inapropiet for 5th graders.  This book is perverted.

Lyddie and her brother are left my their mother and 2 sisters. Their mother rents them out to work for other people. Lyddie is sent to another place, but to make real money she leaves to go to the textile mills. Lyddie becomes very good at overseeing the machines that do the weaving. She makes friends along the way and becomes a young woman.

I thought that this was a pretty good story. It was intresting, but some of the parts were slow and a bit boring.
