Lucy Finds Her Way by Nancy Rue is the continuation of the adventures in the life of Lucy Rooney as she faces new challenges including starting middle school, her dad being away, and her meddling Aunt Karen taking over Lucy’s life.
Just when Lucy thought she was beginning to understand her life, things have to drastically change. Aunt Karen moves in while her dad is away at a school for the blind, and Lucy is left to face the start of middle school. It doesn’t take long for Lucy to fall in the opinion of the popular kids, and Lucy’s best friend, J.J., becomes a prime target for bullying. On top of all of that unpleasantness, Lucy fights to keep her soccer dream of getting onto the Olympic Development Program alive. It may be hard getting through the new challenges, but with Inez, her housekeeper, Bible studies, and God, Lucy finds her way.
I have nothing but praise for Lucy Finds Her Way. Nancy Rue is so skilled in bringing a tween or teen character’s life seem so real, and the things Lucy faces in this book are written in a way that readers can learn lessons with eating up the adventures of Lucy Rooney. In this book, the biblical woman featured is Mary, the mother of Jesus. Lucy learns yet another lesson in the life of a woman of the Bible, and readers will be able to discover truths along with Lucy.
All in all, I highly recommend this book to gals nine and up.
