This review is from: The Defender (The Newbery Honor Roll) (Paperback)
The hero of this saga is one who endures hardship, persecution, loneliness and tough labor. He is a great example of keeping a promise through personal sacrifice. The writing style is captivating and the story is touching. I'd like all my grandchildren to read it for their own good.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Easy Read, Good Story,
By Heiser Family "Heisers" (Everett, WA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Defender (Paperback)
My son read this Newbery Award book for a book report in his 6th grade class. I took turns reading it to him and found it an enchanting book. The main character was so transparent and in my eyes, a hero. He faced loss, rejection and loneliness, but had strong faith, integrity and ultimately, friendship and love. It is an easy read for adults and a good read for middle schoolers. For the most part, the chapters are short, helping to keep the interest of those who need encouragement as they read.
