The Strong Girl
In the 1860s, opportunities for a young farm girl on the outskirts of Montreal are slim. Lizzy has two choices: Take an apprenticeship and save her family farm, or run away to save herself from the life that’s been decided for her—and follow her dreams.
When the circus comes to town, the choice is easy—but she quickly realizes that no decision is black and white. As mysterious things start happening within her newfound family, she’ll have to fight to save her friends and herself.
Loosely based on the amazing and nearly unbelievable life of high wheel cycling legend Louise Armaindo, The Strong Girl is an action-packed adventure that reminds girls of any age that anything is possible.

Molly Hurford is an incredible writer who knows how to capture young readers’ attention from the start and knows how to write unique but engaging stories. It was evident to me from the start that Hurford is a passionate writer who surely loves entertaining children with her literature and putting a smile on children’s faces.
Historical novels, in general, are difficult to write because you have to transport the reader quickly and effortlessly, but sadly this is rarely accomplished in a historical story but not with The Strong Girl. The Strong Girl is the way it is because Hurford knows what she is doing! Hurford knows how to whisk her readers away and entice them with magnificent moments and keep children entertained from start to finish!
Overall The Strong Girl is a marvelous, stellar, and supreme children’s book that will entertain, delight as well as charm young readers and so I, of course, have to award this book five stars!

I really liked this book, I found it very interesting. The book was based on real events, so I got to learn more about things that happened in the past while reading a really good book. I liked this book because of multiple things. I liked the plot line and the adventure mystery genre. The characters were also very well structured and they worked well together. My favorite character is either Tim or Marie because they are both very supportive of Lizzy when she is in the circus and they both try to help her fit in with her new life and they both push her hard but they also help her to be herself. I could barely put this book down and I would highly recommend it for kids from 10 – 13 years old, or kids who are uncomfortable with themselves or aren’t appreciated for who they are. This book was amazing and it really helped me feel better about myself. -Ayleigh Creech
