"Taking Chances" blog tour!


About the Book


Book:  Taking Chances
Author: Melody Carlson
Genre:  Middle Grade
Release Date: April 15, 2020

Zoey knows her days are numbered. At least when it comes to remaining in Cedarville. So when Louisa coaxes her to be part of a garage band, Zoey tosses her insecurities aside to make music with her friends. And she even goes out for the basketball team. But what will happen when her mom shows up and pulls the plug on everything?

My  Review:
First of all, this book is #4 in a series and I highly recommend you start with book 1 and read all 4 in order as they all build upon each other and they are all so good!  Melody Carlson is one of my must read authors and I was thrilled when she began writing this series as my daughter is a preteen and she loves to read and I knew this would be books that I could get for her to read and not have to worry about whether what she was reading was appropriate for her or not.  Honestly, I enjoyed this series as well and it gave us some good talking points as well!  Zoey has had to deal issues at school and with her peers, just like kids have to in real-life; she is a very relatable character.  I love the lessons that are learned throughout the book and the faith that she develops.  This is an excellent book and series and I am sad to see it end, but hoping for more books as my daughter is now hooked on this author as well!

More from Melody

Sometimes I feel guilty for ‘torturing’ my teen and tween characters, but I do it for my readers. It’s not easy being an adolescent, and reading about someone who’s facing hard times is comforting. But in the final Zoey book, I really wanted to give her some victories too. So when challenges come her way, she stands up to them. And she even puts her newly found faith to work. The goal is for readers to feel hopeful about their own lives when they see Zoey rise above her tough circumstances.
