Review: Rachel Yoder - Growing up in Lancaster County by Wanda E. Brunstetter


Publisher's Description:

Rachel Yoder--Always Trouble Somewhere!


Join Rachel Yoder on a series of adventures with this story collection written by bestselling author of Amish fiction Wanda E. Brunstetter. Four stories under one cover will provide you with unlimited entertainment and laughs along the way as you accompany Rachel to the eye doctor's (with a belly full of butterflies), visit Hershey Park (and experience a breathtaking ride), and even fall into a chilly fishing pond (oops!).

My Review:


I found this three book compedium utterly delightful and am sure any young girl would be intrigued by the adventures of the 11 year old Rachel Yoder. In true Brunstetter fashion, the reader is drawn into the lives of Rachel, her family and friends and given an insight into the Amish way of life.

I was pleased to find, as I read through each of the three books, that each one contains a glossary of the terms which are unique to the Amish. I thought this a fantastic addition for young readers, as I am sure many of them would wonder what the strange words, in German, might mean.

Wanda E. Brunstetter is one of my favourites for Amish fiction, and I thoroughly recommend her books to anyone that enjoys reading Christian fiction.

My Rating:

Suitable for Ages 8 to 12 (younger children may enjoy having the books read to them)
