loved the character!!!!!!

I fell in love with the story line and the characters.i had so much fun reading it with mi class mates.it was so inspiring to listen to Daniel's journey meeting Jesus. I loved it but the narration could of bin better but over all I think it is an amazing book and i definitely recommend it.

The fantastic way the reader captured the characters’ emotions.

Reader: Awesome. Story: Magnificent. Y’all did a wonderful job!! Thank you for putting in time and effort to make such a spectacular program.

Love the book, but pronunciations are a little confusing

The story is amazing and I LOVE that it is Christian friendly! Although the pronunciations made are a little different and slightly annoying. They pronounce the name Joel as “Yoel” and it really throws me off. But other than that it is very good!

Good mc

I liked how nice and understanding rosh was and how the mc was just good in a lot of ways and I really enjoyed the book

A novel of true hope and redemption,...

....set believably in Galilee, brilliantly contrasts prejudice and hate with Christ's message of love.

Awesome

It was a Christian book but it was also very exciting and left me on the edge of my seat

Timeless and compelling

I heard about this book while listening to the The Bible Project podcast. Historical fiction is a genre I very much appreciate but quality within the genre of Christianity rare to find. When the podcaster mentioned it as a Newbery winner and expressed his appreciation, I decided to try it during Holy Week. I am so glad I did. The characters are well crafted and diverse. The story essentially and historically accurate. The fights for justice and peace in the midst of injustice and violence are as varied as the boys and girls who grow up inheriting them and just as fruitless. The remedy, though, is tragically singular but universally fruitful. 50 years hasn’t changed the power of this book any more than the 2010 years before it.

The characters

I love the characters and especially Jesus and Rome is pretty sick. I also love character growth of Daniel and Leah

VERY GOOD

people say that the reader has no life in his voice but he did a very good job. and the story is very good
