“Home.” She
thought in frustration. “I have no home!”
Genre: Realistic/Historical fiction
(The time period is set in the past, but the story has a modern “feel” to it.)
Target Audience: Girls 12-15
Subjects: Family Relationships
Summary: Allison has had enough! Her
movie star mom has “abandoned” her once again – not boarding school this time,
but to a summer camp – a stupid summer camp that she hates going to. So she
comes up with a plan to stay alone in her mother’s New York apartment. When she
finds a letter from an unknown grandfather she dresses in her mom’s clothes,
takes her money and sets off to visit this grandfather.
Notes: This is the 1st in
a series about a young girl from a broken family as she seeks a loving adult to
parent her rather than her mostly absent mom. In this book Allison meets some
Christians and starts to learn a little bit about forgiveness but these themes
are developed a lot more throughout the series.
Recommendation Scale: 3/5
Reviewer: J:-)mi
Ephesians 6:1-3 –
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is
right. “Honor your father and
mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— “that it may go well with you and that you may
enjoy long life on the earth.”
