Book Review - Ann's Story
My granddaughters are very excited about this book after receiving Marie's Story previously.

Ann's Story: 1747
A great story about a an eight-year-old girl who wanted to be a doctor, but in her era, it was not possible. I like the educational pages separate from the story that tell the reader about Williamsburg's history . The story tells of a girl and her family living in Williamsburg in 1747, and uses accurate historical facts as to how a family may have lived at that time. Nice story.
