In “ The Striped Ships” by Eloise McGraw, an 11-yearold girl named Juliana, who is your basic, average, everyday girl, except for one day, her life changed drastically, because the Normans showed up and took control of her homeland.

According to this book, in eleventh-century England and Normandy, during this era the Normans are trying to take control of England and everywhere is burnt down or destroyed, but after checking in my text book I found that Eloise McGraw was very accurate in her telling of this historical event.

Two actions of my character were: she thought rationally in bad situations, and she is watching out for her own, like her little brother. Juliana’s actions or behaviors are believable because they were actions that anyone would do in the same situation Juliana and Wulfric are in.

In conclusion, this book is an ok book from what I’ve read of it so far, and I look forward to finishing it. I didn’t like nor dislike this book, and what I mean by that is that I wouldn’t read it again, but I enjoyed it, so I don’t like or dislike this book because it’s very interesting, but it’s very confusing in most points.
