Book Reviews of Wise Child
Book Review: Wise Child
Summary: 5 Stars
Wise Child was a great book! It had lots of twists and turns and it had an indepth story plot. My favorite thing about the book is how much Wise Child changes and matures in the short time she is living with Juniper. Then how quickly she becomes lazy again when living with Maeve. It just goes to show you how much others influence your life. I would recomend this book to people who enjoied the Chronicles of Narnia and Little house on the Prarie books because it is a mix of both. It is a great mix of magic and prarie home life.Book Review: Wise Child

Summary: 5 Stars
I love this book, and its prequel, Juniper (which I acually read first). I believe this is an amazing story.It is about a girl nicknamed Wise Child who lives in a Scottish village. Her mother left her, and her father went out to sea. When her grandmother dies, the only person who will take her in is the village witch, Juniper. However, when she goes with Junipers, her eyes are opened to amazing new things to learn. But when her real mother returns offering Wise Child a life of leisure, will Wise Child go with her and forget Juniper's kindness?
I will only comment on this because others have: When I first read the book, I did not detect the Paganism implications. If it would bother you for such to be implied, you might not even notice. This book will not turn someone away from church, though it might open eyes to Nature-based religions (which, contrary to many beliefs, is not evil, just different than some other belief systems).
If you read this book, be sure to read its prequel, "Juniper" as well.
Book Review: a filling book
Summary: 5 Stars
When Wise Child's mother leaves her, when her father is out at sea, she has no one to take care of her, until a nice witch named Juniper offers to take her. Wise Child is terrified because the children of the town say nasty things about Juniper, but she soon learns to love her, though she has to work hard and sometimes she wishes she could have something better.Then when her real mother comes, who works with black magic, and offers Wise Child things so much better than what she has, that it is too tempting to refuse. When she finds ..........I'm so sorry I can't go on it would wreck the whole book.
I started WISE CHILD just because I was desperately in need of something to read, but I was immediately entransed by Monica Furlong's world.I really liked this book. No. I LOVED this book. The end couldn't have been better!! This book is very filling it is one of the few books that end at the right moment.
