The Tanglewood's secret

I enjoyed this book as it shows how people need to overcome difficulties. Then also realising that to do that they need to look to Jesus and accept him into their lives. I liked this book and I would recommend it to anyone who is willing to read! (Ceri, age 10)

The Tanglewoods' Secret

The Tanglewoods’ Secret is one of Patricia St John’s classic, timeless fiction books for children aged 8–11 years approximately. It is a beautifully crafted story with relateable characters, adventures and antics set within the realities of life that captivate the reader immediately. It combines excellent storytelling and commendable literary skills with Christian teaching. The Gospel is woven throughout the book as Ruth and Philip, staying with their Aunt Margaret and Uncle Peter while their parents are held up in India due to the War, meet other characters in the book ~ Terry their friend who gets badly injured and dies, Mr Tandy the shepherd who reads from his New Testament, Mr Robinson the Vicar who talks about the Good Shepherd ~ introducing the need for God’s forgiveness. I have enjoyed this book as an adult as it entertains, challenges, confronts and comforts. A great read for any age actually that raises an inescapable question for all ~ “Where’s home?”
