SC2424VermontAge: 35-44Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Like reading my 9-yr old's mind!October 16, 2011SC2424VermontAge: 35-44Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This book that I'm going to tell you about was perhaps the most PERFECT book for my nine-year old son. It's like reading his mind–like all the stories/adventures he makes up–like his dreams and daydreams–but put together in a more polished way.
This book, Jackson Jones: The Tale of a Boy, and Elf, and a Very Stinky Fish was superb–it's just right for the age group for which it was written. It's imaginative, quirky, silly, and has a wonderful amount of rabbit trails. It's the story of a boy's overnight journey into a magical world in his great-aunt's hair! Weird, huh? ïŠ It's an amazing journey for a normal, kind of insecure young boy–as he travels along with the help of a guide (Meeka the elf)–into many different mini-adventures and meets many more folks living in "Great-Aunt Harriet's Hair." In his travels he meets several very wise residents of this place (Great-Aunt Harriet's Hair!) who teach him lessons about his value as a person and his outlook on life as well as teaching him about "The Author" who created him/life/etc and has a plan for his life.
I don't want to give any more of the story away, you need to read this book if you have kids in this age range! It's a fun fun read, and it has a nice gentle message about life and God's control/purpose/plan for it. It's not an evangelistic book by any means, but it's a great nudge in relation to God's hand in each of our lives. This will be a great addition to my son's library–of course it's not the only type of reading material he loves reading, but it's certainly a winner!
I would totally recommend this book! I will say that some readers might find it totally ridiculous, not their type of reading, but for my son and his friends–this is it!
I received a copy of this book for free from Zondervan Publishers for the purpose of this review. I was not required to write a positive review.
