The Young Whit series is the perfect gift for Adventures in Odyssey fans. It also welcomes new readers into the Odyssey universe as it introduces them to the history of the much-loved character John Avery Whittaker. Readers will be on the edge of their seats as they dive in to the origin story of Whit and his many exciting mysteries and adventures.
In Young Whit and the Cloth of Contention, the fifth book in the series, Young Johnny Whittaker’s friend Huck is still in jail. The Confederate gold stolen from the bank is still missing. And Professor Mangle is still determined to get his hands on Johnny’s special cloth, which seems to have the power to heal. What will Johnny and his father do?
This book is for all ages. Though a fully grown woman, I enjoyed this book thoroughly. Each page was a wonderful adventure as expected, but more surprisingly I found well needed Christian principles that are relevant and applicable for the hardest of choices, to the most simplest of decisions. Hattie, not only spoke the ‘Word’ quite impressively, but lived it very profoundly. I encourage both adults and children alike to partake of this bountiful last (hopefully not) installment. Be prepared to laugh, cry, and most of all, be transformed inwardly.
In an attempt to get my two youngest daughters interested in reading this book series, I started reading it to them. Well… they liked it so much that they finished reading the series on their own. They finished it about a year ago. I finally finished it and loved it! It’s a great book series for teens, teaching them about God, salvation, faithfulness, friendship, obedience to parents, and much more. Would definitely recommend it:)
