Outstanding

2 years ago

I read these books many years ago, and I'm really wishing I had not given them away. These books are fantastic!

As "Guests of War", the children must cope with being away from their families, being with people they have never met before, and adjusting to new customs. Each book tells the story of the two children as they grow, the new challenges they face, and hearbreaking events over their lives. I… + read more

Guests of War Trilogy

8 years ago

Kit Pearson has woven a web of words that is grand and spectacular. Using her language to bring the story to life, she has creatively communicated the direct personalities of each character. I just love how the first two stories are from Norah's point of view, and the third story is seen from Gavin's point of view. Although the book may be meant for a higher reading level, no matter how old you are, I think that this is a story that most will enjoy. I loved it!

A foreign land

9 years ago

This is an amazing book that captures the attention of young readers (which is hard to do). Norah is only 10 years old and is send to a far unknown land to her, with her younger brother Gavin. They learn about a new country and their life styles. Norah gets very homesick and must deal with her new home and the Oglives. Aunt Mary and Aunt Florance show her a new perspective of life. Personally I was very amazed how Kit Pearson could capture the reader's attention and keep it. If you still… + read more

Awesome Book

Kit Pearson has written a book that grabs the readers attention & keeps them reading. I first read "Sky's is Falling" in grade 5 as an assignment and i automatically went out and got the series and keep reading them.

wonderfull read

9 years ago

An amazing story for young teens who want something interesting and good for the heart. Some times I wish I could be Norah in the story because of the wounderful life she has but its not all glamer for her she really gets homesick for her family. To make a long story short I am going to say you will feel the same way I do if you read the book.

A great read!

10 years ago

Great characters, a great storyline, and a well-known setting come together to make a wonderful set of books. This is one of the best trilogies that I've ever read. I couldn't put this book down, and I really felt for the characters, especially Gavin when he was only four. I've told all my friends about this book, and it's all their favorite too!

Three's A Charm

10 years ago

The Guests of War Trilogy written by Kit Pearson is an excellent book for young teens. The three books tell about a young girl and her brother's experiences during World War II. The author tells an amazing story that gets the reader not only completely interested but has them learning as well. Once you start reading you won't want to stop!

A Splendid Read

10 years ago

The Guests of War trilogy was one book i could NOT put down. I enjoyed reading about Norah in the first two stories and how her life changed so quickly. In the third story I saw things from Gavin's point of view. It was enjoyable to read about what they each thought of Mary and Mrs. Ogilvie. It was also great to read and learn about what kind of similiar experiences the children had during World War Two. You mostly read about the War heroes and Adults.

The Best Trilogy Ever

10 years ago

The Trilogy of War is one of the best books I have ever read. It is suspensful, and adventerous. This is a great book for any reader who likes adventure novels. Kit Pearson has written this trilogy in a spellbinding way. You never know what will happen next.
I would recomend this trilogy to any reader over the age of 12.
