Sisterchicks in Wooden Shoes


If you are looking for a fun, easy-to-read story about lifelong friends who have never met face-to-face, this book is for you. The eighth book in the Sisterchicks series begins with Summer whose "abnormal" medical test spurs her to finally meet her friend, Noelle, who has been her pen pal since fourth grade and lives in the Netherlands. Summer flies across the Atlantic to spend a week with her long-time friend.

Gunn does a fantastic job of describing the scenery and helping me to understand the differences in culture. She develops the characters nicely and made me feel like I knew them personally and that I was right there with them sharing their adventures. Her description of Corrie Ten Boom's hiding place made me want to go there someday. Gunn has a way of incorporating beautiful historical facts and places in her books and this one is not lacking. This is a great book that is insightful and caused me to reflect on my own life. It is a relaxing read that won't take a long time. Gunn's books always leave me wanting to read the next one.

**I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.
