Nika Shilobod reviewed Across Five Aprils by Irene Hunt

Literally the worst book I have ever sat through.

1 star

20 years later, I still have a visceral response to this book from a class. You will be more entertained watching paint dry. The story is about a boy on a farm during the Civil War. Nothing happens, because it's far away from the war. Agonising.
