Review: Now I don't read many middle-grade books but this one I enjoyed. It was such an easy and fun read that younger reader will enjoy. You follow the story of Pearl in 1900s California where she learns about how movies are made when she lives on a farm. The writing was great and it was well-paced. I loved the setting of this book and the storyline.
The characters in this book I enjoyed. It was nice to follow a kid protagonist since many books these days don't write about a younger protagonist in their books. It was nice to see what goes into a child's mind and how she thought about how the movies were being created. Pearl developed a lot from being brave, confident, and finding what she loves. The minor characters were also enjoyable to read like Pearl's brothers, Pearl's grandma, and Mary. Mary is counted as a minor antagonist but develops throughout the story. I didn't really feel connected with the story but I did enjoy them.
I did enjoy this book and the reason I gave it only 4/5 stars is because of how I didn't feel connected with the characters that much and since I don't read many middle-grade books, I thought it was a little short and would like to know more about the story even though it was well developed and everything. I do recommend this book and I think it's a good book to read!
