Katy's New World (The Katy Lambright Series, Book 1) Review
This book is not only well written, but is totally engaging. I didn't want to put the book down after I started reading it. I give this book "a two-thumbs up" and recommend it highly. In Katy's New World Katy struggles to keep her roots as a Mennonite and yet fit in with her new friends at school. Life is full of ups in downs as Katy learns about the "outside" world and struggles to keep old and new friendships alike. After the deacons of her Old Order Mennonite church approve her request to extend her education past her community's ninth grade norm, Katy Lambright starts her sophomore year in public high school. Unsure of what to expect and mindful of the deacons' warning of becoming too worldly, Katy begins her journey into higher education. Katy is assigned Shelby Nuss, her escort for the first week to help her settle in. But when Katy invites her lifelong best friend, Annika, over to her home with her new friend, it ends in disaster. She starts to realize that her two worlds are planets apart. On top of all of this, some of her extended family is against the idea of her extending her education, especially in the outside world. After all, she'd heard the whispers of her fellowship, "Would she be her mother's daughter through and through?" Katy learns that Jewel, a not-so-nice girl, is coming to live with Shelby and her family as a foster child. Jewel seems resentful and bitter. Can Katy reach out to her or will her effort to reach out end in disaster also? Throughout the book, Katy struggles and tries to overcome the obstacles that land in her path at nearly every turn. To make matters worse, she makes a huge mistake that could cost her the dreams she's had for so long. Can Katy balance both worlds, or must she pick one? Will she lose all that is dear to her? Can she decide where she belongs? Review by Emily, 14 years old
