Review by Nathan

The Midwife's Apprentice by Karen Cushman is about a girl and a midwife in the fourteenth century England.  Jane, the midwife, needs a helper and recruits Beetle from a dung heap.  Beetle, a homeless girl, soon gets a job, a roof over her head and a real name.  

I like the knowledge of simple things Beetle has, such as a fresh manure pile can give off heat.  I also liked that even after all she had been through, she still had a kind heart.  This story shows that you can be happy and content with little, which Beetle has learns.
