This book, by Irish author Marita Conlon-McKenna, is about a 12-year-old girl who is named Blue because she was found in a blue blanket and has big blue eyes. The story is really sad at times but I couldn't put the book down and I was really sorry when I finished it. I love Marita's other books and I would recommend this to anyone who likes her famine books like "Under the Hawthorn Tree" or "Wildflower Girl". I would recommend "A Girl Called Blue" even if you haven't read those ones yet. 5 stars!
