This book was very exciting. I personally don't like scary books, so some parts were very frightening. Sometimes too many things happened at once and it was very confusing so I had to read many chapters over again. In the end, it was worth it.

I think this book was a great book because it had lots of adventure and a lot of action in it. Also I like the way the main character told good stories and make poems. She is a brave girl- that's why I like this book plus it's very challenging, but you should read it. I think it's so good.

This book was great. I love the way the author made little stories within the story it self. This book is a little mature though. I hope Nancy Farmer will write a sequel or another book like it. Don't you agree that it is cool that she lived in Zimbabwe and Mozambique?

Taj G. Age 11

I think that A Girl Named Disaster was a wonderful book because it told how a young girl in Africa could explore many different countries on her own. That means that the girl was dedicated to what she was doing and she believed she could do it. I think that this book should be given to all children that love to learn about other countries and there heritages.
