Full of Adventure

Being a counselor working with young people, I am always looking for reading material that will grab their attention and hold onto it. Beyond the Bridge of Time, a novel by Leila Rae Sommerfeld, is a great book for tweens and teens, especially young women. Its a fast paced story set in a time before the great flood. A young girl, Hadia, goes on a journey with others to find the biblical Garden of Eden. The story is full of adventure with danger and surprises on, in, and above the earth--and around every corner. It includes interesting people, abundant nature, friendly animals (my favorites were a dog named O-No and a donkey named Raz), a variety of evil creatures, and the suspense of being followed. Also stocked with lessons and allegory as the journey unfolds, Sommerfeld's book would be worthwhile as assigned reading for middle school or high school students. There are numerous lessons on such things as courage, loss, revenge, trust, forgiveness, power of prayer, superstition, respect for elders, humility, sibling relationships, and walking with God. Overall, the novel was an entertaining read. I recommend it.

Beyond the Bridge of Time

I just finished reading this wonderful book by first time author Leila Rae Sommerfeld and I found it very interesting and full of life lessons along the way. This is a book that pre-teen through adults can enjoy and a good book to read together to talk about the life lessons. There were times while reading the book that I forgot I was reading fantasy. Very well done and time well spent!
