I enjoyed reading The Eiffel Tower's Daughter. It is a fast-paced story set in France, Greece, and Egypt. I really liked the international setting - especially Egypt.
The chapters are set up from various points of view. Each chapter has the name of the featured character on the first page. I had to pay attention because there were so many characters.

The Eiffel Tower’s Daughter sounded like an intriguing adventure story so I picked it up for a read. I quite enjoyed reading it but at the same time there were a couple of parts that confused me.
The story itself was quite a good one. Every moment there was action and adventure and Swanilde stayed strong through all of it. The changing viewpoints were quite good as well. It was interesting to know what other characters were thinking about.

I won this book in a contest and was excited to see what such a young author could muster up, and she didn't disappoint.
The storyline which twists down rugged roads was exciting and quicked paced. I was able to read this book in a day, and the only thing that disappointed me was that it was so short,this book is for anyone who is looking for a book that captures the beauty of a person't soul and deciphers a story that could very much be true.

Publishing a 100-page chapter book is an amazing achievement for 10-year-old. Having her book ranked on the top in SBEP Summer Reading List from a well-known non-profit organization - Boys Hope Girls Hope and followed by children’s all-time favorite books, such as The Cricket in Time Square, by George Selden, is an exceptional achievement for 10-year-old!

I won this as a giveaway not knowing it was written for 9-12 year olds by a 10 year old. Since I was home sick, I read the book. I was impressed by this young author. The different points of view presented added to the story. A bit more detail could have been shared during some of the scenes, seemed to jump a bit. But overall, a good story. Hope the author continues to write.
I am very impressed by the writing of Bethany Huang. She's only 10 years old and she certainly did a terrific job in writing her very first novel. The story was action-packed and entertaining. I like the way that each chapter in the story was told by a different character so that the reader could get their point of view on what was happening.
Well done Miss Huang! You are going to be famous one day. I wish you the best of luck and look forward to reading your next novel.

It was neat to think that a book was published that was written by a 10 year old but then you read it... and it was written by a 10 year old... Very loose and choppy story line. Lots of silly connections and conclusions.

This really deserves a 4.5.
It has a great storyline, but at times the way it is written can make what is going on a little confusing. By the time I got to the last chapter I didn't want it to end.
To sum it up: Great job, Bethany!

I'm already overwhelmed with jealousy towards Bethany Huang--ten years old and a published author, while fifteen-year-old me can hardly get past chapter three...
This book is written by a ten year old! AMAZING! The plot was intriguing, the characters were unique, and the whole book is great...an awesome book!!!
Really impressive writing for a girl her age! ( About my age, actually. I love to write, and I think I'm good at it. But 100 pages? That's impossible. The plot was somewhat confusing, though.
Recommended for 9-12 year olds, and therefore I'm too old to offer any opinion of relevance. Very admirable to be published at 10!
I really enjoyed this book. it is amazing that it is written by such a young author. I look forward to her future novels. I really liked how the novel looked through the eyes of the various characters and how it was set in different countries. I have passed the book on to my friends to enjoy as well.
I won the contest and i was really anxious for this book to arrive and i read it in one afternoon, very fast reading.
It's for sure a sweet book. I probably would have rated it higher if i was younger... This wasn't a book for my age at all, and i couldn't stop comparing with others books i've read. This story holds a lot of different places, but something i didn't like was that the secret could have been more elaborate and the romance should have been stronger. As I said before I would rated it...more

A great debut novel. I think it's inspiring that it was written by a 10 year old. :)

I enjoyed reading The Eiffel Tower's Daughter by Bethany Huang.
This book was a good effort for a 10 year old. All of the basics were there and it was entertaining. As Bethany gets more experience she will be able to flesh her books out. The Eiffel Tower's Daughter could have easily been three times as long if it were filled in with all of the details it was missing. All in all a good book and I look forward to reading more of Bethany's books as she grows and matures.
I am getting this book very soon. I am so exsited.

Aaaand my library STILL doesn't have it. Ugh.
The Eiffel Tower's Daughter is quite a well written book for a ten year old, I’m really impressed.
It was a fast-paced story set in France, Egypt and Greece. I really loved the setting especially in France, the Eiffel Tower <3. Every character has various point of view. I was impressed to Swanilde that she was able to be strong in all challenges she has encountered.

luv it beth!!
First of all, I got this book through first-reads and I'm very thankful for it :)
I am quite impressed about Bethany Huang who was writing such a lovely book with only 10 years old. I cannot really remember how I could write when I was 10 but I am very sure that it wasn't as NEARLY as good as the writing in this book. So: Respect!
This story is full of adventure, love and mystery. So quite a good mix for everyone. I would recommend it for kids from 9-14.

“Oh no…!” Swanilde gasped, a dance of emotions going across her face. I could see sadness, anger, fear, and compassion-as well as so many more emotions that I couldn’t grasp. “My father-he’s dead!”
