Beyond Mulberry Glen

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. Light and Darkness. The struggle to find truth and hope and light, when darkness is looming. This book addresses a big snd relevant topic, while remaining safe for children and not too heavy. This book was a delight to read aloud. We value a strong story, interesting characters, and adventure! Beyond Mulberry Glen has it all. You know you've found a gem when you, as the parent, don't want to put the book down!! The only thing that could push Lydia enough to leave her cozy home, is saving her friends. She embarks on an adventure to bring back her friends, but she will face more danger than she mightve realized. The Darkness is overtaking the forest, a town, and its still growing! What will happen when Lydia faces the Darkness? Will she be encompassed? Or will she defeat Darkness and save her friends? A great middle grade novel that teaches friendship, finding your way, bravery, and hope. I highly recommend!
