**3.5 Stars rounded up

I think this is an okay ending for the Maple Tree Series. I still say nothing can top the first book.

I do like that this one broke off of Hilda’s point of view and went to John. It think it’s valid and important. Because Hilda was a young girl with strong faith in God. John had a different experience and even wondered if he truly believed in God.

I do think that this is important to have since it shows how the two step-siblings had a different faith and battles with their faith. I think it’s important for young readers to witness this through the novels because the road of faithfulness is different for everyone.

I read this book so I knew what our students had to read for their book report. Great story for 5th graders to help them understand the importance of following God and honoring their parents.

Wonderful book on plan of salvation, temptation middle schoolers face, struggle between doing what you want to do and should do; my 6th graders LOVED it

[Carolyn Page · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good piece of short Christian fiction for young readers, including first rebellious behaviour (theft, smoking) and evolution being taught in the school.

This was another must read however it had a great message of confusion and a final realization of transforming a young life.
