Blackthorn Winter was a terrific read. I enjoy Katheryn Reiss's books. They always pack a punch and deliver "The Chills", when reading her stories. I often get goosebumps when recommending them to someone. This story is about a girl whose mother moves them to a small town in England. Her mother is

I read Blackthorn Winter for my world literature genre. It is about a teenage girl who moves to a really small town in England with her mom and younger brother and sister. She slowly gets used to the town, the culture like drinking tea in the afternoon and doing things she has never done before.

They move because her mom is an artist and looking for work. This book is also a mystery because it turns out that soon after they move to Blackthorn a friend disappears. The book is really well written and it is good because the ending is quite a surprise. I would recommend this book to anyone from 12 to 16 years old. While it is written from the girl’s perspective I think boys would like it too. This book also has a message about believing in yourself because no one else believes her for most of the book. During the book and being in a new town she also realizes something about her past she didn’t know about. Show Less
