Book Review: Britfield

Disclaimer: I received a book to review. All opinions are my own.

Tbomb is an exceptional reader. He reads his bible (New King James Version), Nat Geo Kids' Almanac, and more. He will read for 30 minutes or longer at a time and comprehends what he reads exceptionally well. However, he is not a fan of reading fiction. Getting him to sit and read a fiction book has been near impossible (unless it is Spider-Man), but it is something we have been working on. Britfield is changing that! He really has enjoyed it, although his favorites are still nonfiction.

Tom has spent most of his life locked behind the cruel walls of Weatherly Orphanage, but when he learns that his parents might still be alive, Tom knows he must do what he can to find them. He can’t leave Weatherly without his best friend Sarah, so armed with a single clue to his past, the word Britfield, the two make a daring escape by commandeering a hot air balloon. Now they’re on the run from a famous Scotland Yard detective and what looks like half the police officers in England. Tom and Sarah’s journey takes them from Oxford University to Windsor Castle, through London, and finally to Canterbury. Along the way, they discover that Tom may be the true heir to the British throne, but even with the help of two brilliant professors, it looks like Tom and Sarah will be captured and sent back to the orphanage before they have a chance to solve Tom’s Royal mystery.

Tbomb has enjoyed the idea of reading a mystery and trying to figure it out. I love that because it is a mystery, it really makes him work on his reading comprehension. Plus, there is history, geography, critical thinking, and so much more. More than anything, I love that there is a good, Christian based story within it. What more could a mom want? Britfield & The Lost Crown is a good book for your chapter reader all across the board.
