Latest Review: Living the Beatitudes by Gary L. Engstrom

Post by Amiczy Heaven »

Reading a book about young adults is always entertaining for me cause it always seems light, yet has a lot of themes and this seems to be one of those amazing young adult books. I love that Star is able to use her imagination to create the kind of world she wants.

This sounds like a great young adult book! My grandparents helped raise me but neither one was a poet or an artist! It must have been an interesting upbringing by two such talented people! Thanks for the lovely review!

The book already interests me just reading the review. The different challenges they went through before becoming adults is what intrigues me to read it. Great review

This seems like a great young adult book! I love when young adults can read about self-growth. I would have loved to grow up with artists.

I like that Thatcher and Star changed the environment and went for grandparents that seem more inspiring. I find it interesting that their grandfather is a well-renowned poet. Reading recommendation.
