*BFCG may (Read the review to see) recommend this book by this author. It does not mean I recommend all the books by this author.
This series is great for anyone who enjoys the Duck Dynasty TV show, and/or wants a clean, Christian book to read with their kids. I think this book has been my favorite so far. A great message about loving your enemies!
Alexis: This book was by far boring. I got to page 130 our of 192 and I am still not reading anything about the dog show. Just because a book is clean christian doesn't mean it has to be boring. I am 12 and I thought this book would put someone younger than me to sleep I know I had issues staying awake though it.
Somehow I missed this one when I originally read the series, but I'm glad I was able to read them all through this time around. Normally, I'm irritated by the "mean-girl-sabotages/bullies-and-gets-away-with-it" trope but this time it wasn't as infuriating because of how well it was written and the beautiful turnaround arc!!
This book is fun, and it definitely shows the importance of teamwork, friendship, family, and being able to turn to God when you are troubled. This series has not failed to disappoint!
