Wonderful second look into the life of Katy who is a Mennonite girl pursuing education at a local high school,
By
This review is from: Katy's Debate (Katy Lambright Series, The) (Paperback)
Katy Lambight is back again in Katy's Debate and whether this is the first Katy Lambight book you have read, or the second, the story is sure to appeal. Looking at the teen years through a Mennonite girl's eyes is very interesting and different and Katy is a wonderful character to see life through her eyes.
It does help some to have read the first book but I don't think it is a necessity. Most of the backstory is alluded to so the reader would not feel lost if this was the first book about Katy they picked up. I really enjoyed this second look into Katy's life. It focused more on inner struggles this time than her school life because most of the book takes place over winter break. Katy is still trying to find her place in the local high school but still holding fast to her religious beliefs as well. Now she is dealing with the possibility of having a step-mother and she's not sure how she feels about that. And as she spends time in the world, the more worldly beliefs begin to come in and she must decide what she believes and how to act on those feelings. A wonderfully written story of Katy. I enjoyed this one as much as the first. These tiny glimpses into Mennonite life are intriguing and I love seeing how Katy will work out her beliefs. Great for ages 12 and up, there are some wonderful lessons for teen girls in these books. The author does a great job of entertaining as well as making a point in this book and it's a story that will stay with me for awhile.

Another page turner,
This review is from: Katy's Debate (Katy Lambright Series, The) (Paperback)
I want to go to Katy's school - not only do they have a cool debate group that travels to compete, but the second half of the year she takes forensics (competitions in which competitors deliver an original speech on a subject of their choosing, though the speech must be factual.) It all sounds like such fun!
This novel was a page turner. Katy and her friends are a year older than in the first novel. And their emotions and interests have changed. This is not a stagnant series. I read on Kim's Facebook account that Katy has boy trouble in Book Four of the series. As usual, the writing is solid. Kim creates pockets of visuals for the reader to have a glimpse into this mysterious Mennonite community. The ending of this novel was wonderful. All the plot points were tied up. But what I liked the most was that a character had made a couple of mistakes and that character made amends in the only biblical way : by confessing their sin to the other person and asking for forgiveness. I LOVE that because this novel is geared towards tweens and teens. A great example of Christlike behavior.

Fiction Girls Can Learn From!,
This review is from: Katy's Debate (Katy Lambright Series, The) (Paperback)
Katy Lambright is back in Kim Vogel Sawyer's Katy's Debate! Katy enters the world of debating and using words to win and persuade. When Katy's dad starts courting Mrs. Graber, Katy feels like she has to fight for her dad. She begins using her debating skills to persuade her dad that they don't need Mrs. Graber. But is she making a big mistake?
Meanwhile, Katy develops a crush for a member of the debate club. But he's "worldly", or non-Mennonite! What is a girl to do? This is an excellent sequel to the first book in the series. It definitely left me wanting to learn more about Katy's life and read future books. Katy's feelings are very real, though her life in the Mennonite community is different. As with the last book, there are lessons to be learned and good morals throughout this book, such as the importance of honoring parents and trusting God. I highly recommend it. Note: This book was provided freely to me by Zondervan publishers. I am not obligated to write a positive review- only an honest one.
