After reading The Giver of the Stars by Jojo Moyes, I was intrigued about the pack horse librarians in Kentucy. I am so glad that Ms. Appelt & Ms. Schmitzer were fascinated by them too and wrote this book!!
I read this book in one sitting. Although it is categorized as a "juvenile nonfiction" book, adults can learn a lot of information about the pack horse librarians in a short amount of time . . .. and retain the information! Photographs enhance and support the text.
My admiration for Jojo Moyes's research and ability to weave in fact with a novel deepened as I read this book. Most of what I read in this nonfiction book was integrated adroitly into her novel.
*Highly recommend.
-Borrowed from the library.
