The String Horse

by Michele Cytron Linde, James Linde Campbell, Emily Belle Freeman (Editor)

A true story that invites readers to spend a year with James, a third grader who looks like he has the perfect life from the outside. But life just isn’t going the way James planned. James is dealing with more stuff than your average 9-year-old. He has a big bad secret that makes him feel sick a lot of the time; he’s sad that his mom whom he adores has to fly all over the world for her job, and his headmaster has his mom on her speed dial. Trouble just seems to find James. However, James and his mom are adventurous and creative; they have a master plan. James and his mom are determined to find a way to fix his life before James is a teenager, and their methods might surprise you.

This is a journey into a young boy's life that forever changed him from fearful and timid into a confident and courageous teenager.

[Sara · Rating 4 out of 5]

Since I know the authors, I have some background information and heard snippets from the book. However, I still enjoyed the narration style and think the purpose of the book is great, and I would recommend it to parents who want a closer communicative relationship with their kids. But it’s not only great for parents, but also kids struggling to see from their parents side of the situation.
To be honest, everyone could learn something from it. But not everyone is as lucky to read it as I am.
Thanks for sharing your story with me.
