Customer Review:
 Typical Schurfranz entry in the Sunfire series where the heroine is very beautiful (and everyone comments on it at length) and can ride and shoot as good as any man. This time it's bow & arrow instead of guns, but that doesn't make much difference in the over-the-top "grrl power" formula... more info

Customer Review:
 This was a pretty frustrating book, in that the use of the suffragist movement was very inspiring to both the reader and, apparently, to the heroine, yet Laura instead vacillates between two boys like an indecisive, coquettish ditz. She's not really sympathetic at all as she plays the tease with... more info

Customer Review:
 The character of Megan and the scrapes she gets into with the nasty Russian trappers gave this book a fun "Perils of Pauline" feel to it, when it wasn't being bogged down by Schurfranz's annoying tendency to have her "heroes" be either grunting cavemen or sunny Pollyannas. The fisher Ivan seems to... more info

Customer Review:
 This book is excellent! It has wonderful romance and the plot makes you want to keep reading her book. Vivian Schurfranz made it seem that Cathy O' Malley acctualy was transported between England and Princten. The book is a little sad, but ends up happy. If I were you, I would buy this book!

Customer Review:
 This is one of the more "perfect" Sunfires out there, in that belief has to be suspended and cliches abound. Danielle Verlaine's father is a sugar cane plantation owner in 1814 New Orleans who refuses to have slaves, but instead pays free men a decent wage. Nice and tidy for our heroine to be... more info

Customer Review:
 If this is the first Sunfire book by Vivian Schurfranz you've read, then you're bound to like it, or at least think it's ok. If, like me, this is one of the last, you already know what's going to happen, and when, before you even open it up. And if that peeves you, then you'll want to slap the book... more info

| | 8. | [no image] | Heather (Sunfire, No 23) from Scholastic Paperbacks
Customer Review:
 A by-the-numbers teen romance that is slight on history and characterization. The heroine vacillates between the Dutch sailor and the landowner's son from chapter to chapter on the slimmest of pretexts, and the supporting cast of characters are cliches of good, hearty lower class folk and scheming... more info

Customer Review:
 It was my dumb choice to read this one immediately on the heels of another Schurfranz Sunfire, and the utter sameness of both books almost drove me to forfeit a PBS credit and rip this puppy up into a thousand pieces. I'm really glad I only read 2 books in this series when I was a tween, because if... more info

Customer Review:
 I read this book in Junior High just because the title of it was the same as my name. I wasn't expecting much, but I absolutely loved it. I didn't think about the book again until I entered college as a print journalism major and I found myself deciding between two boys. This book was like... more info

Customer Review:
 Unlike most of the Sunfires, or even some of Schurfranz's titles in particular, there is nothing to recommend "Merrie." Often it's a matter of grasping at straws to find positives in her books, but there's always been something. "Merrie", however, is a loser on many fronts. Schurfranz takes many... more info

Customer Review:
 This was one of the better entries written by Schurfranz, and the story had a hint of vintage dime novel flavor to it. Julie is a likable heroine who rides and shoots but is aware that that's not what all boys like. One half of the romance rivalry would rather she be more ladylike while the other (a... more info

Customer Review:
 the book is very good, most of it is true, the author defenetly did some researching. the only reason rated 4 stars, is beacause the part about the children from 12-18 being a hostage,in turn for the protection from their armies wasn't true.

 I think that this is a WONDERFUL book. It had a few low points but once I got into it I loved it. Amanda is a newdent at a new school. She has to make friends and shows off by doing magic tricks.

Customer Review:
 I wasn't at all bored with this book and it has become one of the best books I've read so far. It's just a simple plot: Leah wants to help the neighborhood 'witch' and hermit, Mrs. Fox, and with all the time Leah spends with her, her best friends, Roseanne and Danielle start to resent her because... more info

Customer Review:
 Series review: The Sunfire Romances are an interesting specimen of books, especially if read from a feminist point of view. There are several rules in place for the construction of a Sunfire book: the protagonist is a young woman, who celebrates her sixteenth birthday during the course of the... more info
