Reviews

[Sarah · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a really sweet book, though it is written for someone who is a couple of decades younger then I am. Imagine a cross between American Girl and the Royal Diaries series, with a lot of Christian ideas and Bible verses included, and you have a good idea of the style and flavor of the story. I would highly recommend it to young girls.
Romance: Faith likes a boy, but in this book, she just mentions she likes him and moves on. One boy likes her and tries to give her jewelry, which she isn't happy about it because the boy is mean.
Violence/Scary: Mentions on blood (not much), injury(not detailed), illness (not detailed), and death of people you love.
