Book Review: The Gift of Summer Snow
The Gift of Summer Snow by Donna Alice Patton is a beautiful, wholesome quality mystery novel for young girls about age seven to thirteen.
Eleven-year-old Becky loves to garden and she is determined to win a top prize at the county fair with her Summer Snow rose. The problem? Someone is snatching her best blooms! With time running out, Becky determines to hunt down the culprit and solve the mystery. Along the way, she learns lessons in faith, friendship, and kindness. She also increases her devotion to a favorite saint, St. Theresa.
The writing, plot, and characters are lively and entertaining enough to hold the attention of the most reluctant readers, and suspense will keep readers turning pages to reach the satisfying conclusion.
The Gift of Summer Snow is a refreshing, sweet, and interesting story that you can feel good about giving your daughter to read. The role models and the depiction of a solid family unit are inspiring. This book would make a great gift or addition to a homeschool collection. In addition, the black and white illustrations are quite charming.
I would have loved the opportunity to read this book as a child. My little girls will read this someday for sure. It’s a keeper!
The Gift of Summer Snow is available in paperback from the author’s website.
