Hard book to read
I had to read this to help my son and this was one of the worst and hardest books to read. I didn't see the educational value in assigning this book when it was a very hard book to retain.I would not recommend this book.

must read
Catherine Called Birdy was an exciting book. You never knew what was going to happen next.It's about a teenage girl who is being married off to a "pig," who she hates. Well, not if she has anything to say about it. I liked this book because it was interesting to know what a younggirl's life would be like back then. The title grabbed my attention becauseit was unusual.I would recommend this book to anyone who likes books thattake place in the Middle Ages and who enjoys a great book that you can'tput down.

Amazing
Catherine is a clever, high spirited, cheerful young girl living in the middle ages. Besides having a beast for a father, pig for a brother, and a annoyance for a nanny, Catherine must deal with the ill-mannered suitersthat come to take her as their wife.This is an amazing book for children.

Absolutely amazing
This is by far the best book I have ever read.The book is funny, witty, and well-written.I loved it and I have read it several times.

Excellent!
