Review of Stevie Tenderheart Books - Billy Jack (The Great Escape)
Billy Jack believed it was too early to send him to bed for the night. He believed that while the sun was still shining, children should be allowed to play and not be put to bed. Even though it wouldn't get dark until around 9 p.m. where he lived, he decided to get out of bed and play with his friends. He arranged pillows and covered them with a blanket to make it appear like he was sound asleep before leaving through his window to play with friends. When you read this book, you will discover whether or not Billy Jack succeeds in his great escape plan.
Steve William Laible, the author of "Stevie Tenderheart Books - Billy Jack (The Great Escape)," used very simple language to write this book. It was primarily aimed at older children who could read, but more difficult words such as emphatic and paramount were briefly defined after they were used. This allows readers to enjoy the story without having to look it up in a dictionary. It made for a very seamless reading experience.
The detailed description and pictures of the escape adventure brought the story to life. It was easy to understand how Billy Jack felt when he was trying to avoid detection. I really enjoyed the vivid description of Billy Jack's imagination. He was concerned that if his plans failed, his parents, the entire neighborhood, the police, and the army would find out, and news channels would feature him as breaking news. This concern made him even more graceful as he crawled, tiptoed, and rolled to complete his task. The challenges he faced, such as the serious-looking neighborhood dogs, gave the story a rush and added to the excitement of the adventure. At that point, I desperately wanted Billy Jack to succeed with his plan. Truly, reading this story was a delightful adventure that I really enjoyed.
I have no negative comments about this book. It succeeded in capturing the experience of an adventurous child doing something that many others would have considered. It also conveys subtle moral lessons about mischief and the value of sleep. "Stevie Tenderheart Books - Billy Jack (The Great Escape)" deserves a perfect 5 out of 5 stars as a result. This would be a good solo read for kids aged 9 to 12, or a bedtime story for younger children.
