My Thoughts on eXtreme Blindside:

This is a fun young adult fiction book.  I have a growing number of teenagers in my house and they have voracious appetites for not only food but books too.  It is my privilege and responsibility to make sure that the books they are devouring are good for them and are going to not draw them away from Christ or fill their heads with garbage. 

Because of this responsibility, I preread almost all of the books that they read.  This is a book I decided that my children would enjoy so I read it first.  I say first because before I had even put it back on the shelf after finishing it, the book had disappeared off into someone’s room.  Since then it has made the rounds and they’re all had a chance to read it.  

Within the pages of eXtreme Blindside, you’re going to find faith and forgiveness.  You’ll also find perseverance and doing what’s right at all costs.  But you also get a good dose of mystery and sleuthing.  Because everyone needs a good mystery to solve and some danger thrown in!

This book does have a boyfriend/girlfriend vibe to it.  So if you don’t appreciate that then you’ll know it’s not for you.  I think the highest praise I can give this book is to say that I did allow my kids to read it.  

The author has a wonderful way of making you feel like you’re actually there in the scenes of the book which really makes the book come alive.  I loved how the characters also came alive.  They are strong in their faith and that shines through as a wonderful example to the people reading the book.  This is a great author that I’ve read her books before and I can highly recommend them.
