This book is about a ten-year-old girl who is trying to discover whether God is real after the death of her dad, a man loved by everyone, a man who she calls Prince Tennyson, because of his chivalry and the fact that he was a handsome soldier and that he looked like a prince in his uniform. Her mom had a mental breakdown after he died and so they moved to live with her grandma. Chelsea wants to know if God's real, because if he isn't, when her dad died, he wouldn't have gone to heaven and she would never be able to see him again. I probably would have cried if I hadn't been in the living room with my dad and my sisters, as well as one of my cousins. Such a good book. I walked over to the little dresser. It had a shelf above it, and on that shelf there were a bunch of pretty ballerina figurines. One of them was broken. She was wearing a purple tutu and both of her arms were off and lying next to her. Warning: There might be spoilers beyond this point. Continue at your own risk. But remember, I warned you. Positive content:
This book is about healing and it really builds your faith. Chelsea is wondering if God is real and she goes on a journey, trying to find the truth. Violent content: There is a fire at the end in where her grandma falls and hits her head and there is some blood, but not too graphic. Sexual content: None, unless you count her mentioning that people think that this boy is her boyfriend. Language: None Overall opinion: This book was really charming and inspirational. Since it is from a ten-year-old's perspective you see the world from a whole different point of view. This is definitely a must-read. It almost made me cry and I probably would have, if there hadn't been people in the room to watch me cry. So, so touching.
