About this audiobook
Maggie's Door is the story of the journey from Ireland to America told by both Nory and her neighbor and friend Sean Red Mallon, two different stories with the same destination-the home of Nory's sister Maggie, at 416 Smith Street, Brooklyn, America.
Patricia Reilly Giff calls upon her long research into Irish history and her great powers as a storyteller in this deeply involving, riveting stand-alone companion novel to Nory Ryan's Song.
From the Hardcover edition.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was a great historical fiction read. Super easy read with a bowl full of emotions through out the book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a wonderful book for young people to read. It entails the journey of a young girl who leaves Ireland during the potato famine and travels to America (Brooklyn, NY) to be with the rest of her family. She tells about her sojourn to get to the vessel that will be taking her and her little brother and granda. She talks about the difficult living conditions on the ship, and the death of her granda (grandfather). She tells about how they finally made it to Brooklyn and she makes it to Maggie's Door (Maggie is her sister) and she and her little brother Patch are finally reunited with the rest of her family.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5In the mid-1800s, Nory and her neighbor and friend, Sean, set out separately on a dangerous journey from famine-plagued Ireland, hoping to reach a better life in America.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A great follow up to Nory Ryan's Song that has all the charm of the original.
