The School Story

This book is part of our Core C with Sonlight and it was so much fun to read!

Natalie had written a book and her friend Zoe wants to see this amazing story published. This story follows the ups and downs as these two girls plot, scheme and learn about what it takes to get a book published. You watch great ingenuity and it really teaches you to think outside the box.

There are many great themes in this book including perseverance, friendship and hard work. You also see family bonds, hardship and grief. The characters come alive and you feel like you really know them. We laughed, cried, and wondered as we read through this book. We never wanted to put it down and the kids always asked to read more. I always wanted to read more!

James and I also loved this book as writers who desire to write and get our work out there. We greatly identified with Natalie and connected even deeper with her emotions on the journey.

I cannot recommend this book enough! Excellent writing, great themes, identifiable characters, perfect pace. This book is five stars all the way.

I am using this book for Tim Challies reading challenge in the category of a book that looks easy to read in the committed section.
