![]() ![]() ![]() This "coming of age" novel is very fast paced and fun for all ages. She is strong and independent and really spreads her wings when she finds out that it's okay not to be "normal". I think she identifies with a majority of teenagers in the fact that she doesn't feel like she fits with the "in crowd". For those who have read the other novels in The Otherworld Series, you can step right back into this world where you know supernatural creatures exist and you can just go along for the ride as Chloe discovers that the world around her is not as "normal" as she thinks.Ĭhloe is a great character to read. ![]() Armstrong recaptured her writing style, but for a much younger audience.

It took a couple of pages, well maybe chapters before I decided to finish it. I found the characters understandable, I have family too., but not likeable. ![]() It was a well written book but not the usual haunted house book. My first for Hendrix and I think my last. She doesn’t want to learn how to live without the two people who knew and loved her best in the world.

The story of women's suffrage is epic, frustrating, and as complex as the women who fought for it. Many of them devoted themselves to the cause knowing they wouldn't live to cast a ballot. The leaders of the suffrage movement are heroes who were fearless in the face of ridicule, arrest, imprisonment, and even torture. The amendment only succeeded because a courageous group of women had been relentlessly demanding the right to vote for more than seventy years. ![]() Constitution-the one granting suffrage to women-was finally ratified in 1920, it passed by a mere one-vote margin.
