Review
Its strength lies in its historical accuracy.
Sherrard’s storytelling ability is amazing, bringing me to tears several times as I read about the fates of the townspeople and the hardships they had to endure ... Using strong female and male characters to drive the story, the reader ends up learning about a compelling time in history as well as becoming invested in what happens next for each of the characters. It felt like I had walked into the 1800s and visited with friends.
Sherrard is so good at telling the story from the child’s point of view with all the immature emotions and thoughts that entails.
Three Million Acres of Flame is a very good book because it is a truthful account yet still has a good fictional storyline. I give Three Million Acres of Flame 5 stars. (Tyler, age 12)
