I just finished reading "The Secrets Beneath" by Kathleen Fuller to my kids. (ages 11,9, and 8) My intention was to read them a chapter a night before bed. Each night they begged me to keep reading. At the climax, I said," Okay the chapter's done." They were incredulous! My 9 year old son said," You can't stop reading at a time like this." I asked them how they would rate this book and the two younger kids both emphatically said 10 out of 10. My 11 year old son gave it an 8 out of 10. Considering the fact that this book is about an amish girl, I consider that pretty high. I personally found the book a bit drawn out and I grew tired of hearing about the one character's bad mood but then again I'm not the intended demographic. I did like that disobedience wasn't shown as heroic like it is in so many kids movies. Given my children's response to this wholesome book, it gets my recommendation.
