The premise of the book was interesting, but I was let down. On Goodreads it says if you like Alice in Wonderland, The Twilight Zone and Caroline than you will most likely enjoy this book. I didn't feel this to me true. Although it does have some of those elements in the book, the descriptions weren't strong enough. For instance if the author could have written more of the five senses into this book than I would have been more immersed in the book. The characters to me also seemed a little flat. This maybe because the book was geared for ages 8-12 (so basically middle grade). This may have been written this way so the book wouldn't have seen as complicated and if this is true I can understand that. I did enjoy the illustrations as well. The book ending seemed so incomplete to me. Overall, I do recommend this book because it is a simple read with an interesting premise.

I did enjoy this book and I do have a lot of passages I wanted to highlight. I didn't feel that there were to many perspectives. Many times I was confused of which character was which. I mean the story was touching, but the overall plot didn't really stick with me. I have read other books my Melody Carlson and overall I do enjoy her writing. This book just sort of missed the mark for me.

This was such a great children's book.

This is one of the best books I have ever read. God has taught me so much about Himself and myself. There is so much Bible scripture and awesomeness in the book. I 100% recommend this to everyone!

The book made the Bible feel so alive to me. Sometimes when I read the Bible I have trouble picturing in my mind what life was like for Jesus and His family and friends. I loved reading about each of the characters in this book and I connected with them in ways that I didn't think were possible. I also was reminded to help those who are less fortunate and to always share who Jesus Christ is and to let nothing stand in my way because Jesus Christ is the greatest friend anyone can have.

This book was so wonderful. I recommend this book for all Christians no matter how long you have been one. This book has taught me a lot and reminded me of things I have forgotten. Although this book isn't perfect I still agreed with a lot of the authors points. If you can I suggest you pick this book up.

I really enjoyed this book. The concept was unique and I could imagine something like this happening. The books has slight of a cliffhanger and I can't wait to read the other books in the series.

I was really hoping I was going to love this book, but it was just okay. I felt the plot seemed a little juvenile in the way it was presented. The story didn't get interesting until I was about 80% done with the book. I may read the next book in the series just to see what happens to the characters. Overall, this book could have been better, but I think if I was around the ages of 14-16 I would have enjoyed this book a lot more.

I loved this book of poetry. The words were simple to understand and the meanings of the poems were deep. I highly recommend this book and I can't wait to read more by this author.
