LIKE THE WILLOW TREE by Louis Lowry

    In this book, there is a girl named Lydia Pierce. Her mother, father, and little sister Lucy passed away during the Spanish Influenza. Afterwards, Lydia and her older brother Daniel are lead to the Shakers by their uncle. There, she is lead to become a  Shaker girl as part of her life. After only a few weeks of working, Daniel flees the Shaker village. Will Lydia ever see her brother again?
I think the saddest part was when Lucy died.

I would recommend  this book to girls from ages 8-11 would enjoy this book.
