"The Red Shoe" by Ursula Dubosarsky

This book was interesting but I would not read it again. It's a story about a little girl named Matilda and her two sisters. It is set in Australia in the mid 1950's during a very trying time in their country and their families life. Numerous bad and depressing things happen to their family and those surrounding them. It is definitely not uplifting. On my book scale I would give this one only a 3. Time to move onto the next one! If you would like more information on this book or the author you can find it by clicking on the link to her page here.
