Will he be tempted to share it with others?

Will Homewood change him?

I'm the Youth Services Librarian at Chapin Memorial Library serving birth through 18 years of age.

The library was closed yesterday, and I took your book with me while I got my hair done to be able to remove myself from work stress and really lose myself in Homewood. Lose myself, I did. The stories are ADORABLE. The voice is accessible and really feels like a twelve-year-old boy is talking. I am happy to inform you that we would LOVE to add this to our Juvenile Fiction collection for circulation. Once cataloged, we will place it on our Adventure book display and I also intend to hand it to our homeschool families as well. I believe there is value in both the stories and the accompanying music at the end to the families we see on a daily basis.

I was fortunate enough to listen to Dr. Burcham’s stories the entirety of my 6th grade year. He is an excellent storyteller with a gift for teaching young kids valuable life lessons, as you’ll see throughout this book. Stories from Homewood is for you, your children, your students, your nieces, nephews, or simply anyone looking for a sweet adventure. Highly recommend.

Bring the peace
You wish to find.”
