There is a cute bookmark and a mirror at the end so the child can see themself and know that Jesus Loves Me Because the Bible Says So!

As with her previous books, she wraps her stories around stories in one-way shape, or form, and as a reader that is like putting me in a candy store.
In The Unraveling of Emlyn DuLaine I fell head-first into a magical world and I didn't want to leave. I loved Emlyn's spunk. Spunky characters are my favorite, especially when it's a girl.
I enjoy reading young adult books, but fantasy wasn't one of my top genres until Lindsay Franklin wrote The Story Peddler and then I was hooked.
Let's talk about the beauty of the cover! Those purples and greens are as bright and colorful as the book is.
Bottom Line: If you're looking for a new series to start give this book a shot. I promise it will brighten your imagination.

Heather Kaufman has quickly become a go-to biblical fiction author for me; in the company of Mesu Andrews, Jill Eileen Smith, Tessa Afshar, and Tosca Heather Kaufman has quickly become a go-to biblical fiction author for me; in the company of Mesu Andrews, Jill Eileen Smith, Tessa Afshar, and Tosca Lee. Joanna is mentioned twice in scripture; Luke 8:2-3 and 24:10 and those mentions sparked a curiosity that Heather Kaufman wove into a beautiful story of resilience, hope, forgiveness, and love. While I love the character of Joanna, I adored her little sister, Dalia. You see, Dalia has epilepsy like I do, and Heather Kaufman handled the illness with care and love, she also showed it realistically including the stigma and fear families go through. This book is like a full-course meal. Ms. Kaufman shows a lot of Herod and his palace's inner workings. She also has a lot of interactions with the disciples. Which was both interesting and wonderful. I love biblical fiction for a lot of reasons, but mainly because it makes me go to the Bible. With the amazing cast of characters and riveting plot, this book is not to be missed. While this is book two in her Women of the Way series it stands alone, however, I highly recommend reading Up From Dust....more
