Review of "Departures" by Robin Jones Gunn




I wish I had these books when I was in middle school. Gunn does a great job of creating characters with depth who are great role models for young girls. While the books are about high school aged kids, I think they'd capture the attention of middle school girls better. I know I always read books about kids who were just a little older than me as I was growing up. These books can be really helpful in preparing young girls for some of the struggles they will be facing. They allow girls to start thinking about them and develop a plan for how to respond to certain situations. I think they'll also help girls to stay focused on God through the middle and high school years. I hope my daughter develops a love of reading so I can introduce her to these books in about 8 years.

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