The Unexpected Life Of Oliver Cromwell Pitts by Avi, 314 pages
“In 1724 England, twelve-year-old Oliver
Cromwell Pitts embarks on a journey from his seaside home in Melcombe Regis to
London to find his father and his older sister, a journey filled with thieves,
adventurers, and treachery.” I enjoyed this book. I like
historical fiction and stories about overcoming adversity and this book is
perfect for that. It is clearly the
beginning of a series so if people have a preference for waiting until a series
is complete before reading it, they will want to wait to start this, since this
book just came out a few months ago.
However, I would definitely give this to kids who like historical
fiction.
