The People of Sparks

Just as good as the first one, if not better! I think the author did such a great job of presenting the issues of redemptive violence, war and peace in a very realistic, yet simple way for children. Well, who are we kidding, sometimes as adults we need issues like this broken down for us in digestible type chunks so we will actually take the time to think through the things which deal with the more unpleasant side of humanity.

I really LOVED the ending, I loved how realistic it was, and how it could translate into real life, where we are now, how we are living now. This is definitely one I'll be either making my kids read, or reading to them. So many important life lessons to be learned from this book!

Now, where to find the third book so I can devour it.... :)
