Book Reviews
I thought it would be easier for you to navigate if I combined all of the book reviews here on one list. The reviews are listed by category and alphabetically by the author’s last name. Some books, especially for children in grades 4 – 7, could fit into more than one category, so check both categories. If you click on the title of the book, a link will take you to the book review. A few of the book reviews have not been reformatted since I transferred them from my old blog. I appreciate your mercy and grace as I work my way through the list!

GOD, I FEEL SCARED Book Review
“Scared happens to us all, and that’s okay. But God doesn’t want you to stay afraid.” This is the theme in the picture book GOD, I FEEL SCARED (Zonderkidz, p.30). Three weeks ago, Hurricane Helene caused more destruction than anyone expected. As it swept through communities, it left behind inconceivable devastation and fear. Sadly, my daughter and her family experienced this in their Black Mountain/Swannanoa Valley community. Thankfully, they and their home are okay. Or, as she says, “We’re okay, but we’re not okay.” If your family has been affected by recent storms—figuratively or literally—then consider reading together GOD, I FEEL SCARED.

Road Trip Rescue: Book Review {and Giveaway!}
If you’re looking for a middle-grade novel packed with adventure and written with a Christian worldview, then you’ll want to check out this review of ROAD TRIP RESCUE. It’s been a while since I reviewed a middle-grade (MG) novel. Maybe it was two or three years ago when I reviewed Ben Franklin’s In My Bathroom, and Britfield and the Return of the Prince. I tend to lean more toward picture books, but recently, I ran across this gem and want to share it with you.

Get ready to do a happy dance! I’ve gathered three beautiful Easter books to share with you this month.
