The Garden of Eve is a coming of age story that tells of a young girl who is a going through the painful loss of her mother. Going is able to bring to life Evie's (main character) story. It is an engaging story and I couldn't put it down. In this book things are not always what they seem and the author does a good job of tying up loose ends. One of the things that bothers me as a Christian is that K.L. Going makes it seem as if the creation story is a fairy tale. Children 4th grade and up will enjoy this book.
POSITIVE As I mention before your child will not want to put this book down. It is a complex story that does a good job of delving deep into the main character. The story line is continuous and captivating.
EDUCATIONAL It is a well thought out story and there is good character development
ACTIVITIES
- Talk about how the character changes through the book
- Teach your child how the Bible is also a historical book
- Do a bible study on Adam and Eve and what they can learn from the story
