⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This delightful story [Long Ride Home] from debut author, Susan Marlow, demands sequels, because of her memorable characters and dynamic story line, reminiscent of Tom Sawyer tales. Although intended for youth, I couldn’t put the book down until I finished it. Definitely add this one to your shopping list for young and old alike. -Gail Welborn Montgomery’s Journey
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book and others in this series are worth every penny!! They are well-written, engaging, and have excellent morals in each one. You can’t go wrong with these wonderful tales. –Heather
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From the story line, to the characters, to the morals, these books are extremely well written. Many authors try to “tell” you about the character; Susan Marlow “shows” you their character. In fact, you feel like you know them. –David D.
