Promise the Night Michaela MacColl Books

Today's middle schoolers often lack real world role models to challenge their character development. I remember reading my way through shelves of biographies in my school library's biography section. However, my own 10 year-old granddaughter shows no such desire, preferring rather to get lost in fantasies where children, cats, and magic determine the world's fate. Thus, I chose to read this book in hopes of enticing her to dream a little more realistically about her own future.

My conclusion? This author chose an interesting writing style in which to communicate the biography of a woman with a great deal of character and determination. I am looking forward to challenging my granddaughter's character growth and understanding of the world around her with this book during her middle school years.

Promise the Night Michaela MacColl Books Reviews

Wonderful book.
Best book I have read
Promise the Night I found it to be A very good book. It kept me waiting to see what was coming in the next chapter.
Wonderful retelling of many facts in Berle Cutterbucks life. Michaela uses her story writing ability to make this story interesting and fun.
I enjoyed the juxtaposition of scenes from Beryl Markham's childhood and her flight westward across the Atlantic. Some people don't like that, but I did not feel that it detracted at all. It was an interesting biography.
My son was assigned this book for middle school and my wife and I read it as well. All three of us enjoyed it a lot. I felt that the ending was rushed, but I am very glad to have read it. It is the type of book that sparks conversation and thought. Very enjoyable!
I loved this book. I bought it for my pre-teen girls and they loved it too. It was wonderful to be able to talk to my girls about the fact that this book was based on a true story. The girls couldn't get over how different of a life the girl in the story had as compared with our own experiences. It really opened up that sense of wonder for them and I loved seeing that in them. The story really captivated me as well as the kids.
