Product Description:

Rating:  -
This book was a Newbery Honor book many, many years ago, indicating that it was considered to be one of the best children's books written in that year. It is the story of 13-year-old Marguerite Ledoux. After her grandmother and uncle die, Marguerite is left alone in the New World, far from everyone she knows back in France. She ends up being "bound out" in service to a family who will feed and clothe her until adulthood, in exchange for her service.

Rachel Field's Calico Bush tells of Marguerite Ledoux , a young French immigrant who has been bound out to the Sargent family following the death of her Uncle and Grandmother.

This is a book of exceeding quality. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it's sad in parts (which I hate in books) and I hate how cruel the Sargent's are to Maggie because he is French. Plus, its not my favorite genre.

The author, Rachel Field, excells at making her book come to life. The people in the story show quality traits of courage and kindness. The first part is a little boring, but the rest is superb. I love history and this is one of my favorite books that takes place during the French and Indian War.
Rating: -
I believe Calico Bush is a good book because the brave people seem real. The main character, Marguerite, is an orphaned, French girl serving the Sargent Family for six years during the 1700's. The first pages are a bit boring, but the middle is excellent and the ending is perfect.
