My 9 year old daughter loves to read, and she's a good reader. I wanted her to start reading books with substance, so I bought her this one. She read the first missionary story but couldn't see what was so world changing about it. So I said I would read them first and underline important parts for her. It was still hard for her to understand.The idea of the book is great. Young or middle age women who have acted in a way that changed the way we see or do things, in a positive way. The vocabulary is easy enough. The reading is clumsy,though. I'm not sure how to explain it better than that.Another problem is that you need to know some general history for the heroines actions to be seen in their proper light. For instance, a woman going off by herself to a foreign country, with no money or mission support, not speaking the native language, knowing no one, and most of all, being a WOMAN in a country like China where females were not respected at that time (1800s)... If you don't understand these kind of things, you can't really understand the story or appreciate what the missionary or heroine did that was so world changing.So I have to say, the reading is good for 9 year olds, but they will definitely need some help understanding background information. It wasn't quite what I thought it would be.
I bought this book for my two sons ages 8 and 11. Little did I know that these simply written stories would be just as interesting for me! I heartily recommend these stories for the whole family -- the format lends itself easily to family study.
This is the kind of book girls should read to have the most meaningful and satisfying life ever - great examples are shown here of lives worth living.
The idea for the book was great. However, the stories were very poorly written. I bought this for my neice, but I had to buy a different gift because this book just could not keep her interest.The book needs editing. Too much irrelevant information, omission of key details, poor sequencing in the story telling.After editing, it could be a good book.,
The stories are easy enough for elementary students to read. The biographies are not very long but offer enough insight into the life of that individual. The thing I liked best about each "biography" is at the conclusion of each story they first provide you with a special fact that relates to the individual's story and then sums up that person's life and ties in how that person's life was used by God. In addition, at the end of all of the biographies there is a short reading comprehension quiz covering each of the individuals covered in the book. I would highly recommend this book.
I purchased this book for homeschooling purposes. My 9 yr old enjoyed reading it and it was informative. Neat book.
This a great read for 2-5 graders. Also since the stories are shorter it is great for the reluctant reader.
these were short bios about girls whose lives were significant in the process of world events. Easy for a reluctant girl to read and have a completion without having to read the book at 1 sitting.
