Fascinating book!
Although this book was written for children, I thoroughly enjoyed the book and learning about Justina Ford. What a remarkable woman. I think that the "Now You Know Bio" series is a wonderful idea for educating our children and ourselves! I look forward to reading more of them. Ms. Lohse is a talented writer and I look forward to reading more of her books. I bought this book for several of my nieces and my 83 year old mother enjoyed it too!
Thank you for fine writing for all ages.

Justina Ford - An inspiration
This is a wonderful and educational book for children and adults alike. I have shared the book with my friend's children. The author did a great job of taking the reader back to the era, especially with the photos. Justina Ford was an inspirational woman. Justina's Bio, once again, proves that hard work, love of life and respect for others leads to so much self satifaction. The book helped to renew my determination to reach my own goals. I am so glad I had a chance to read it!
