Fans who followed Sadie Douglas when she stood up against bear hunters in Shades of Truth and Flickering Hope, and regained control of her life in Waves of Light, will adore the continuing story of the tween heroine in BRILLIANT HUES (Zonderkidz; $7.99; September 2012), the fourth and final book From Sadie’s Sketchbook.
In BRILLIANT HUES, author Naomi Kinsman continues Sadie’s tumultuous tweenage years with an engaging and mature book that will satisfy those who have followed Sadie and those who are new to the character.
Sadie and her family return to California, where Sadie’s father takes on another high-profile case as a research mediator. The media attention throws Sadie into the spotlight – jeopardizing her safety – and she struggles to fit in. She returns to Owl Creek for a reprieve and discovers she no longer fits in there, either. As she struggles, Sadie encounters an even wider sphere of Christian beliefs, challenging her in new ways. She must find the courage to face her fears and create a new life for herself.
