The Angry Intruder

by C. Archer (Adapted by), Catherine Marshall

Headstrong and independent, Christy is determined to change the lives of the children in Cutter Gap. Yet it seems that anything new and strange poses a threat to the mountain people, who are proud of their way of life. Evidently, Christy has angered someone enough to cause a string of mysterious pranks. The handsome minister fears that the pranks will turn dangerous. Unfortunately, he doesn't realize how right his fears are.

Another great installment of the Christy series (this series is the full novel broken down in segments).

I really enjoyed Christy's journey to help the mountain people, but in doing so, she needs to learn how they think and what is important to them.

*I listened to this on Scribd.*

For readers of all ages who enjoy Christy by Catherine Marshall, this expanded series comes in 12 easy to read books with lots of action and dialog. This is the third book in the series and takes a look at a student prankster who's actions are turning into something much more threatening.

The first two books in this series started out somewhat slow and predictable, but I’m now seeing the comfortable rhythm with these short stories! Still predictable, but enjoyable. These are perfect fillers between reading big novels, especially if you love the pacing in the Christy tv series.

Whenever I think of this book, I always get this picture of the dude standing over the piano.

[Glenys · Rating 4 out of 5]

Christy is settling in well, has requested donations from firms and a variety of places and this hasn't gone down too well with the founder of the mission Alice Henderson. Thinking outside the square this situation is remedied by setting up a store so the mountain people can barter for the items instead of accepting charity. Amongst the donated items is a piana, one of the older boys is having anger management issues which seem to run in the family and damages the piano in a fit of rage and spite. Christy talks with him and resolves the situation.

The conflict in this one is a combination: Christy writes home for donations, but fails to check with Miss Alice and David first, and finds that she's stepped on toes. This feeds into the second but more major conflict: someone is writing threatening messages and scaring Christy, trying to convince her to leave. She has one bully in her class whom she suspects, but she can't prove it's him. Meanwhile, there's a love triangle amongst three of her students, which seems to mirror Christy's own budding love triangle between David, the preacher, and Dr MacNeill.

I loved watching the Christy TV series was I was young. These books brought back a nostalgia and are well written. I loved this book series.

[Aubree · Rating 3 out of 5]

I loved the Christy movies and books as a teenager, so re-reading them has been a fun journey. This one isn't one of my favorites - the storyline feels a little underdeveloped.
