"Stay" by Bobbie Pyron Inspires Children to Help Others

Stay by Bobbie Pyron is about a family that has to live in a homeless shelter and a woman who lives on the street with only her small dog to keep her company.  It also shows how people can rally around for a good cause and help others who are going through hard times.  I especially loved the parts where the dog tells the story. (Gerard's review, 5+ stars)

Stay by Bobbie Pyron is a heartwarming, children's story about a girl, Piper, who is homeless but whose heart is set on helping someone worse off than her--an old homeless lady with a little dog, Baby.  I really enjoyed this book about the homeless, friendship, adventure, and helping others.  The dog had a big part in it and it has a good lesson about not judging others on the basis of their appearance.  I think it's a great children's story and highly recommend it.  I had trouble putting this one down!  (Karen's review 6/12/23, 5 stars)

"The Soulmate" by Sally Hepworth

In The Soulmate by Sally Hepworth, Gabe and Pippa's house is near a cliff where people sometimes go to end their lives.  Gabe has a way of talking people off that cliff.  However, one day with Pippa watching, a woman and Gabe talk until the woman is falling off that cliff!  To Pippa, it looks like Gabe pushed her, but she doesn't really believe it!  Could he have?  

Sally Hepworth is always good, but this book is fantastic!  The characters are really good and I thought I knew how it would end, but I was wrong!  LOVED THIS ONE!  (Gerard's review, 5++ stars)

"Doorway to the Bible" Book 1 in THE BOOK OF LIFE SET

I had this Book of Life set a very long time and never read any of them so this year I decided I would read through the set.  I just finished reading Book 1--Doorway to the Bible which gives a very brief introduction to the Bible with some short Bible stories geared to children and some nice prayers for kids.  There are also a few application stories included for children as well as color pictures.  I look forward to continuing with this series to see what the rest of the books offer.  (Karen's review, 4 stars)

"All the Broken Places" by John Boyne

In All the Broken Places by John Boyne, Gretel does not like to talk about her past.  Most of all, her father!  But in life your past has a way of catching up with you, and when it does for Gretel, it becomes a life or death situation.  This book is pretty good but no where near as good as "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" also written by John Boyne.  That being said, i am glad I read this one.  (Gerard's review, 4 stars)
