Eagerly anticipating her first Junior Ranger camping trip, Sharon doesn't want to waste time for anything--even her uncle's Bible reading. But when a mission of mercy strands her alone in the woods, her plans for the night are ruined. Will the other Junior Rangers find her before something terrible happens? And can Sharon remember God's promises when there's nothing left to cling to?
Rebekah A. Morris has lived her entire life (as of now) in Missouri. Being home educated during her school years was great, except for writing. That was the worst subject (along with math) that she had to do. It wasn't until after she graduated that she discovered the joys and wonder of writing. Now she can't write enough. After spending six years in research and writing, she completed her first book, "Home Fires of the Great War," a 500+ page, historical fiction about home life in the United States and Canada during the First World War. Since then, she has been an avid writer and always has more than one story going on at once because only one story at a time got tiring and dull.
Loved this sweet little story! The setting and style reminded me of some of my favorite books from the 50s and 60s--old-fashioned, but not old old-fashioned...if that makes any sense. ;) I liked the way the tension was woven through the plot without getting to the point where it would be too scary for a child. And I loved so many of the characters, even if we didn't get to spend a whole lot of time with them.
I wrote the summary for this book and received a free copy from the author. A positive review was not required. All opinions are my own.
Content--a girl gets lost in the woods and is afraid of wild animals, etc.
3 stars & 3/10 hearts. This is a pleasant, entertaining story. It’s short, but the characters are well developed and interesting. I kind of was surprised there wasn’t a stronger warning about wandering off in the woods or approaching wild animals, though.
