for Ages: 10 -20
I’ve been
really happy to have Kindle Unlimited. I’ve been able to read so many books
that have been sitting on my to-read list for so long. This book was one that
was recommended to me quite a bit a few years ago. I can see why.
This book has
a very sweet feeling about the whole thing. It isn’t a romance, it isn’t
preachy, and it isn’t lacking in interesting things going on. It had a Heidi
feel about it as Olivia is such a dear young girl and Jonas is such a gruff old
man.
While not
preachy, this book did have a wonderful faith element. It was perfect for a
younger audience, but also solid enough for older readers to still appreciate
it. I think parents will appreciate that this is a very clean, faith-filled
read.
The setting
is America during the Revolution, but that didn’t factor hugely into the story,
but added a very nice backdrop. Knowing it was going on also really helped to
showcase what kind of a person Jonas was.
I highly
recommend this book for younger readers, those who are looking for a story with
a sweet feel, and those who like stories that are free of romance.
