Maggie’s Door

By Patricia Reilly Giff
Level 7
Review:

This is the sequel to Nory Ryan’s Song, but I feel it would also work great as a stand-alone book. This wholesome story paints a vivid picture of the time of the Great Irish hunger with believable characters and a compelling plot. I loved this book just as much as Nory Ryan’s Song. I found nothing inappropriate in the book, unlike some other books by Patricia Reilly Giff.
