Summary: Danielle
Review: Danielle was a marvelous story. I was so surprised by the ending, I loved it, although I didn't really understand it. When she was hiding in the swamp, my gosh, I read that page again and again every time feeling overwhelmed with fear for Danielle. Sure she was kind of irritating, but she was a real girl. Even though all the other reviewer said it was predictable, I completely missed it!

Summary: It was okay...
Review: Initially I really liked this book. The portrayal of Danielle and New Orleans is very light and good, but toward the end, I got extremely irritated with how immature she turned out to be. It's not until the very end that she finally settles the decision between Geoffrey and Paul and it turned out pretty exactly as I had predicted. In some ways, I suppose Schurfranz is pretty accurate in her portrayal of Danielle as a 15-year-old girl, but the spirit and intelligence she showed in the beginning were lessened by the bad decisions she makes, making it hard to admire her as a heroine.

Summary: Danielle
Review: To begin with, we have a typical Schurfranz herione - "sassy", headstrong - and often immature and terribly anachronistic. Historical characters are changed to suit her needs, and the ending - again, one typical of Schurfranz (I shan't spoil it for those of you who have not read it yet). But it has a good dose of adventure and it's better than similiar Battle of New Orleans stories presented by the Dawn of Love and American Dreams series (well, for AD, "Reyana's Reward". The Rosie and the Raider series is superior.)
