    I read this in school!

    This historical fiction is about a 15 year old orphan named Sarah Bishop and is running away from british soldiers that abused her for burning down a building. If you like long books, Sarah Bishop might (might) be a good book for you.

    I would recommend this book for everyone

    The book of Sarah Bishop by Scott O'dell is a great book. I don't every read books at all. When I was going through all my books in my room I found this book. I haven't read a book on my own in like 6 years. I started to read it a little and then I just couldn't put it down. I got through the whole book in 2 days. It is an awesome story and a good lesson about the revolutionary war. No matter what Sarah did in the book, it was never wrong, but always the right thing. I hope you get this book and enjoy it as much as I did.
