Whilst away on their honeymoon, Benny got the townsfolk motivated and they helped paint and to up their house which was also the surgery. God's provision is found throughout this book. Nobody was rolling in money but very realistically God provided when folks needed it!

Benny and the Bank Robber is a good piece of historical fiction aimed at grade school kids. It's told from the perspective of t Ten-year-old Benjamin Richardson knows how to talk a good game about trusting God and relying on His provision, but can he match actions to words? It's told from the perspective of ten-year-old Benny. Although, in most places, the scene breaks are marked by images of a book, cougar, or horse, there were a few times that the scene break occurred in the middle of a paragraph.

Nevertheless, the story is engaging and appropriate for younger audience. Benny faces challenges that are realistic for the setting and deals with them in a way that makes reasonable sense for his age. He experiences a range of emotions from confidence and doubt to grief and joy. The language of the book is generally accessible for upper elementary kids of average reading ability with a few challenging words. From his father, who died in a tragic accident, Benny learned the importance of following the teachings of the Bible.

It is a good book for children, as there are lessons about life, taught in this historic adventure. It is interesting to go back in time and let your imagination take over, to a time where when things were simple. Still, some things never change. The book was great! It deserves a ten star and recommend to everyone.

Lots of valuable lessons, book talks about God, just lovelyfull. There were some parts of the book I thought were well done--specifically the first scene and the middle of the book--but I felt the rest was very lacking. The plot, while catching me off guard fairly often, felt random, not fleshed out well enough, and too convenient in many places.

People changed too much too quickly more than once and the ending was anticlimactic. I just wasn't impressed with the writing as a whole or with the story most of the time. The first part of the book was tragic and engrossing but the second part did not keep my interest and I had to stop when someone was changed overnight after years of secular religion. It was too convenient for the book's story but not really believable. To get the free app, enter mobile phone number. See all free Kindle reading apps.

Jeremy is back on the farm with Benny, Abigail, Uncle Tom, Aunt Caroline and of course his horse, Black Switch after being released from prison after only serving 2 years of a 10 year sentence. Overcoming the problem of people not looking at his face is not going to be so easy to solve. As the book progresses someone suggests that Jeremy use his theatrical skills to make up his face so as not to be a distraction.
