It is the sequel to Small Gains and takes up pretty much exactly where that leaves off and then there is a time gap in the middle to push the story on faster. It can be a little depressing because, lets face it, the lives of women and poor people were at this point in time and Clara is both but there is still an uplifting factor. And although this will generally be shelved as a children's book, I think it deserves crossover status as it has a lot to offer adults too. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
