Andrea (Andi) Carter certainly didn’t intend for an impromptu horse race down Main Street with her friend, Cory, to end with almost trampling their new teacher. Not the best first impression! If that wasn’t bad enough, Virginia Foster, the teacher’s daughter, seems to find great pleasure in tattling on Andi and getting her into further trouble any chance she can.
Andi’s mother tells her she needs to treat Virginia with Christian kindness, no matter how Virginia treats her. But when an escaped prisoner comes into their classroom and takes the students hostage, Andi faces the hardest and most dangerous decision of her life. Will she have the courage to do the right thing, no matter what the cost?
Andrea Carter and the Dangerous Decision is the second book in the Circle C Adventures series by Susan K. Marlow, set in 1880s California. Readers will empathize with Andi’s struggles and failures as well as her courage and spunk. Like most of us, Andi tries to do the right thing, but finds herself often falling short. I laughed and cried with Andi—she’s a very likable heroine.
Armchair Interviews says: This was a page turning read and a satisfying continuation to the series.
