I'm still working out my feelings for this book. I loved the premise, and it has so many of my favorite things - girls in STEM, twins, girls dressing as boys to sneak into a male-dominated field, weird Victorian surgery, grave robbing! AND it's a Fra ...more

I was so excited about a new Julie Berry book, but this didn't quite hit for me. I thought the premise was really intriguing, but the story moved so incredibly slowly for the first 2/3 of the book. If it wasn't Julie Berry, I hones

This book was full of twists and turns, and I had no idea where it was going to end up. I was thrilled to read a book set in Estonia, a country about which I know almost nothing. I loved learning about their culture, and it sent me on a deep dive to ...more

Quotes by Emily Cook  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Just because a book is considered “children’s literature”, doesn’t mean it’s childish. Many of my favorite books are written for children! A good story is a good story, and you will find that you enjoy many well-written books just as much (if not more) than your children.”
Emily Cook, A Literary Education: Adapting Charlotte Mason for Modern Secular Homeschooling

“Our aim in education is to give a full life. We owe it to them to initiate an immense number of interests. Life should be all living, and not merely a tedious passing of time; not all doing or all feeling or all thinking - the strain would be too great - but, all living; that is to say, we should be in touch wherever we go, whatever we hear, whatever we see, with some manner of vital interest. ~ Charlotte Mason”
Emily Cook, A Literary Education: Adapting Charlotte Mason for Modern Secular Homeschooling

“The question is not, — how much does the youth know? When he has finished his education — but how much does he care? And about how many orders of things does he care? In fact, how large is the room in which he finds his feet set? And, therefore, how full is the life he has before him?” ~ Charlotte Mason”
