Book Review -- The Seventh Most Important Thing

The Seventh Most Important Thing by Shelley Pearsall
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a new author for me, and I liked her writing style and pacing. This book isn't flashy or in your face, but it's a good solid story about a boy who needs redemption and finds it in the oddest of places. I think kids can relate to many of the themes here: loss of a parent, struggles with money, outcast at school, and trouble with teachers. Lots to think about, lots to ponder. Great read!

Teachers and parents -- Family drama, no physical relationships, mild language, nothing questionable here. Ages 11+
