Young Reader Reviews
‘I would not recommend this book to the faint-hearted. However, though challenging, it will not disappoint! Charity Brown and her large family belong to the Lucasite religion, a little-known community with rigid rules that have fenced Charity in her whole life. Unsure how to please the people around her in the Lucasite way, and along the way trying to convert non-Lucasites, which earns her titles such as “Holy Charity”, Charity’s path to inner peace is a relatable story which will be particularly enjoyed by 9-12 year olds.’

‘This was an absolutely cracking book, I couldn’t put it down. My favourite part was when Chairty was making a speech at the end. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a difficult plot.’
