You did introduce me to MBS...and I have listened to the first two...LOVED them. I also saw some Truth there, though I also thought it was unintentional.

I just bought the book to read to my two older boys (5 and 7). I cannot wait, and after reading your blog post...I am even more excited!!!! Thanks for sharing :)

Do you think it would be a good book for me to read to my 6 year old or should I just wait and let him read it when he's a little older? I have read him "Because of Winn Dixie" and "Swiss family Robinson" and others but those were his favorites.

I enjoyed this book very much and am looking forward to getting the sequel. I thought the book was very well written with enough mystery to keep the pages turning and some excellent food for thought if you had to put it down to attend to other activities. I just bought it for my school library and can't wait to get it into the student's hands.

Thanks for the review, Carrie! You've made me excited to start reading this with my son.

Oh, and God's truth is always God's truth, and it turns up many places, whether the authors/creators begin with that intention or not. :)

I bought this book on a whim also. Absolutely loved the title and the cover. But it's still unread. Someday.

It's so interesting, the way stories can convey truths whether they're intended to or not. I think it happens in movies, too; 'The Matrix' illustrates lots of spiritual principles... and more recently I saw 'Children of Men' and saw allegory in it.

I've not heard of this book, but I'll be keeping an eye out for it now!

Sarah - I've bypassed books so many times before. I'm hesitant to "discover" something on my own dime. I'd rather KNOW that it's good. But I had some "wild spending money" to use specifically on a book which is the only reason I picked it up. =)

Stephanie- lucky YOU!!!!

I got a copy of this (and the sequel) from the publisher but haven't had a chance to read them yet - now I'm intrigued even more!

Great review. I can hear the excitement in your voice just by reading this review. I can't believe I've passed by this book twice (picked it up, flipped through it) and didn't buy it. The second time I almost did... Now the VERY next time I see it I'm going to buy it. :)

I think I need to listen more to my gut when I see a book.
