Summary: Interesting topic, but lacked detail.
Comment: "Nell of Branford Hall" was very undeveloped and only gave a brief feeling of what the Plague experience was like. The beginning gave Nell's routine and no hint of the Plague. By the time the Plague occurred, I had lost interest in the book. By the time I became interested in the novel, it was over. The entire book should have given a blow-by-blow experience of what happened. On the plus side, this book is good for young readers interested in this era. Good for preteens: I recommend; not good for 13+: I do not recommend.

Summary: harmless history
Comment: A brief look at the Great Plague of 1665, this story has been written better elsewhere. Though there is nothing really wrong with "Nell"; it reads more like a nonfiction book on 17th century life than a story about a young girl. As a reader who likes to experience the story she is reading, I found myself emotionless throughout the book. You will find a more compelling read in Jill Paton Walsh's "A Parcel of Patterns".

Summary: I loved this book!
Comment: This book was the story of a fictional thirteen-year-old girl and her experiances during the Great London Plague of 1665. Nell Bullen lives with her family in a spacious manor house outside of Branford, a town not far from London. Nell narrates the story of the terrible events that occured when the plague spread to her village. I highly reccomend this excellant book.
