A Summer Secret--Book Review

With a twin brother and five younger brothers, Mary Beth Mullet's house is in constant chaos. Her parents don't seem to mind the noise, but she needs a break from all the pestering and babysitting.


It's the summer before eighth grade, and Mary Beth plans to escape to her secret place as much as possible. The old barn in the neighboring field is dangerous, and her parents have forbidden her to go there, but she escapes to it as often as she can.

Mary Beth soon discovers she is not alone in the barn. Someone is living there; someone who needs help. Can Mary Beth help the stranger without losing her secret place? And what if the barn is as dangerous as her parents say it is?( goodreads.com)

Have you ever wanted a quiet place to think and be away from your siblings..I could so relate to Mary Beth when I was growing up. Mary Beth likes to hide out in a barn on land near by. She is the oldest of 5 kids and her mom is expecting again. Mary Beth meets Sawyer-- a runaway who has been hiding out in the barn. Mary Beth and her brother do all that they can help him out and even pray for him.

Mary Beth and their brother almost get into trouble because they know that Sawyer is the barn and don't want him hurt, so they tell the truth and things have a way of working out between mary beth, Sawyer and their families.

My daughter would love to read this book.
