Christy Series: The Angry Intruder

By Catherine Marshall

Book Overview

Near the piano she saw him. He was tall and his face hidden in shadow. She could just make out the glimmer of a knife, poised high over the open piano. "No!" she cried, and as the knife came down, she grabbed for the intruder's arm with all her might. Headstrong and independent, the new schoolteacher, Christy Huddleston, was determined to change the lives of the poor mountain children in Cutter Gap. Yet, it seemed that anything new and strange posed a threat to the mountain people, who were fiercely proud of their old way of life. Evidently, Christy has angered someone enough to cause a string of mysterious pranks. The handsome, young minister David Grantland feared the pranks would turn dangerous. Unfortunately, he didn't know how right his fears would be.

Christy and the Angry Intruder Review

This book was very good. It read fast and had an interesting plot. There were exciting events that happened and a young person would really enjoy it. The way Christy handles the boy that had been vandalizing the school and terrorizing her was good. It will teach a lot of kids not to retaliate against someone that has hurt you. I would recommend this book for any kid between the age of 8 and 13. It reads well and has very good lessons cleverly slipped in.
