Brief History of Montmaray by Michelle Cooper


3.5/5
Sophie is given a journal for her birthday and she proceeds to document the demise of her current life on the island of Montmaray. It is the late 1930s and Sophie lives on the island kingdom of Montmaray with her sister Henry, and cousin Sophie and Sophie's mad father their reigning king. There pleasant existence is changed forever when some Nazi soldiers arrive on the island. The beginning of the story is a bit slow as Cooper builds the characters and history of the island but soon the pace quickens and you will hardly be able to put it down. Recommend for 7th grade and up.
