1. I decided to read this book because the book is look nice and it's look quite fun.2. My favourite character was the Captain because he was brave and he did things some of the people in the town would never do.3."God is only good. And life was a gift. Of that I was certain. I did not know yet what to do with it, or what was wanted from me. But I would. I had hope. For I knew that there remained love enough. And that all eternity could be held for the remained love enough What I once had would be mine again. Only infinitely brighter, infinitely purer, infinitely sweeter. And all would be righted at the conclusion of love's pursuit. ~Daniel (the captain) & Susannah Phillips. I like this quote because it is true and I love the way it ends the book. 4. I learnt that you should always do what you want to do and that you shouldn't let people force you into doing things that you don't want to do and just following your own dreams. This book was about Susannah Phillips. She lives in Stoneybrooke, Massachusetts. The rules there was that she dressed the right way, believed the right things, and lived the right life. In Stoneybrooke there are savages living in the forest, so the King from a nearby city sends a captain. Nobody really likes him because he looks wild. Susannah is proposed to by Simeon Wright, the richest and meanest man in town. Susannah doesn't say anything because she is not allowed to and her father goes and asks the man she wants to marry (John) if he will marry her, he says yes. Then in church the next the banns for Susannah and Simeon and published but it was a mistake because Susannah said said yes to John. Then John says he won't marry Susannah because of the banns that have been published. Susannah finds out that Simeon is beating up his mother and tries to pull out of it but she can't. The captain persuades her to marry him and they will run away but some things get in the way and Susannah finds herself all alone without Daniel (the captain). Wide Reading Questions:1.

And life was a gift. Of that I was certain. I did not know yet what to do with it, or what was wanted from me. But I would. I had hope. For I knew that there remained love enough.
