The Winter War

"Levi opened the door. He stepped inside, keeping one hand on the doorknob in case he had to leave quickly. the smell of dead worms filled his nostrils. 

'Why are you here, Levi?' said a voice. 

'You know my name?'

'Of course.'

Levi took a deep breath. 'I want to see you. I want to see... your face.'

Levi hesitated. Then he slowly closed the door. To his surprise, the room brightened, a pale light rising up from the dusty floor. Levi gasped at what he saw..."

I work in a bookstore, and Priscilla Shirer's Prince Warriors books are some of the most popular children's books we have in the store. I think these books are so popular because they weave in truths from the Bible into an engaging fictional story. Readers learn more about God and His plan for their lives as they read these books. 

Before I go any further, I would like to clarify that I, personally, did not read this book, nor have I read the first three books. In order to give an accurate review of this book, I asked my 13-year-old brother, Ben, to read this and give me his honest opinion since he has read the other three books as well.

According to Ben, this book was extremely well written and held his attention (which is saying a lot for a middle school boy). He has enjoyed all four of Shirer's books and hopes there will be more in the future. Further, Shirer has written a book that is captivating and emotionally engaging.

After hearing the reviews from both my brother and others, I would wholeheartedly recommend this book. It is so difficult to find clean, edifying books for kids. This series provides kids with an engaging, action-packed story and provides parents with peace in knowing their children have a safe book to read.
