Dawn and the Impossible Three (Baby-Sitters Club)

Dawn and the Impossible Three (Baby-Sitters Club)

By Ann M. Martin

Dawn Schafer is new to the BSC, so she has a lot to prove, not only to their clients but also to the BSC president, Kristy. So, when Dawn gets a job with three children, she thinks it will go relatively easy. Boy, was she wrong! With missing children, uncontrollable toddlers, and a messy mother to deal with, Dawn has her hands full. But she is not going to give up until she becomes friends with Kristy, and she can control the impossible three. Whichever comes first! I enjoyed this book because it was fun, lively, and a great page-turner. I suggest this for 8+ and people who like friendship and babysitting. Happy Reading!

C.S. Lewis: Christian and Storyteller (Men of Spirit)

C.S. Lewis: Christian and Storyteller (Men of Spirit)

By Beatrice Gormley

C.S. Lewis has been known by most for his popular series The Chronicles of Narnia. But before characters like Aslan and Lucy ever came to fruition, there was always the man behind the marvelous books. Clive Staples Lewis was born on November 29, 1898. By the age of four, Clive “renamed” himself “Jacksie” or “Jack”. This was an early sign of Jack’s imagination and bold personality. Growing up very close with his brother Warren, Jack had fun story-telling, writing stories, and putting on plays. It was normal to see him writing a story with Warren right by his side. Jack’s childhood was happy and comfortable. The book stated that “for the most part, life was good.” Growing up in a middle class family, Jack enjoyed the luxury of any rich child. But he never lost sight of finding simple pleasures in the small things. Clive’s imagination was very much directed by his love for fantasy. His nurse, Lizzie, would often read fairy tales to Jack. This fed a hungry desire for knowledge and imagination. As the years passed and Jack grew older, he never lost sight of his vivid imagination. But while dealing with his raging mind, Jack also dealt with disbelief of God and the reality of Hell. After consulting with trusted friends and Godly books, Jack finally gave his life over to Christ. This was not the first time Jack had “accepted Jesus”, but Jack later wrote about his earlier relationship with salvation in his autobiography Surprised by Joy that “[I was] kicking, struggling, resentful, and darting [my] eyes in every direction for a chance of escape” After his conversion, Jack was ready to start serving God. Known for his most famous works “Chronicles of Narnia”, Jack made multiple references to God in his books. For example, Aslan, the lion in the Lion, the Witch, and Wardrobe, died in the place of sinners, much like the way Jesus died.Through Clive’s life, it is obvious to see the light in his story. The reader will definitely benefit from seeing a once reluctant Christian turn into a Jesus-loving believer. The reader can learn from Jack in two important ways: 1. friends are incredibly important for one’s life and 2. through your influence, you can change people’s lives and bring them closer to God. Jack died on November 22, 1963, but because of his strong influence on society and even stronger Christian friends, his amazing works are still here and have been warming our hearts ever since his pen touched the paper. Behind our favorite Chronicles of Narnia characters, there is a strong, Godly man behind it. Through his life, we can see the power of God and can be encouraged by Jack’s faith and trust in God.

Four: A Divergent Collection (Divergent Series Story)

Four: A Divergent Collection (Divergent Series Story)

By Veronica Roth

The idea for this book is really good. Instead of focusing on Tris's point of view (in the 1-3rd books), the story takes on an interesting spin as the reader gets put in Four's shoes. I read a lot about his background, told from his own perspective. I really like the way the author chose the moments to write about, it highlighted the most significant moments in Four's life to make him more understandable and relatable to the readers. The thing I liked most was that the author didn't just focus on Tris as the main character, in the fourth book she made Four the main protagonist and led the readers through the events of his life. However I wished the book was a whole length novel with continous chapters instead of long narratives because it would make it seem more realistic, like you were actually THERE, instead of reading a diary. In conclusion, this book was really good!
