“To my surprise, I was sorry when I got to the last chapter, not because I didn’t like the book, I didn’t want it to be over”
“This book is more than just a story. I recommend The Sixteenth Chronicles because it was well written, and it gave me the feeling of teenage life in the 1950s, and the struggles our nation went through during the 1960’s. The content goes beyond most books, and I give it 5 stars. ”
