A review by bookmadbarlow
Grace of the Empire State by Gemma Tizzard

inspiring tense fast-paced

4.5

I really enjoyed this historical fiction, it's not a genre I tend to read, but this one fascinated me from the get go and I spent the whole time hoping it was actually based on a true story.
Grace is a twin and when her brother gets injured, she uses her previous circus skills to work on building the Empire State building.
The short chapters propelled me through the book and let me tell you, parts of this book were TENSE!
I loved Grace, I really enjoyed the story, the setting and the secondary characters and I would highly recommend picking this one up.
