This book was written by a young author for young people. As such, it has some issues. the author tried to pack to many things into one book and never developed very deep characters you felt a lot of emotion for. However, this was a fun little story that introduces what some of those trying to translate the bible into English may have gone through.
Content notes: minor peril. Some minor injuries. The usual casting of a priest in the role of a hate filled villain.
After going through the devotionals, Just Us Girls and Dare Greatly with my youngest daughter the past couple of years, I decided that she and I would be go through this book together over the summer. We finished, and what a treasure trove of facts we enjoyed learning about at the end! The surprises prior to that certainly kept us on the edge of our seats at times! Definitely recommended for junior high and above!
