I received a copy of ETHAN’S
SECRET by Patrick Hodges in exchange for an honest review. It is the second book in the James Madison
series. I have not read the other book,
but I was able to follow this installment.
This is a romance geared toward
middle-grade readers. I found that
interesting. I read a lot of middle
grade novels during my college years working toward being a teacher, and they
don’t usually focus on romance.
Altogether it was cute. I
remember in junior high and high school, my friends were reading adult romance
novels to get that romance fix. When I
was student teaching, the kids (as young as 5th grade!) were reading
TWILIGHT. I like how this is an
age-appropriate romance.
Of course there is much more to
the story than just romance. Junior high
is a tumultuous time and Patrick Hodges captured that essence well. I am recommending this to my teacher friends
and friends with junior high children.
