My
personal Rating- 
It made me a little nervous that
Sydney’s Aunt Dee let her and Elizabeth go off with a family they had just met
for the first time the day before, but this isn’t that type of story, so it was
all okay…but I’m not sure about that in a middle-grade book.
I did like the family geology
parts, even if it was a bit confusing at times. The language parts were fascinating
and there was a lot of Scriptures discussed too, which was great!
See y’all on Friday with a new
review!
