Author Tracy Leininger Craven brings to life a true story from her own family history in this dramatic novelization for readers age 8 and up. Alone Yet Not Alone: Their faith became their freedom from ZonderKids is available in paperback ($9.99) and Kindle ($6.64) versions.
Brianna, age 13, read the book first. Here's what she had to say: "It was a very good book! I liked the way that she was so determined to get back out, even though she knew what the risk was. I can't wait for the movie to come out!"
Wait, movie? Yes! Movie!
The movie based on the book is being released September 27. Click here to see a behind the scenes look at the film and find out if it's coming to a city near you! I found out we have to wait until February for it to come here.
Eli, age 11, was my second reviewer. Eli says, "I thought it was a really good story. My favorite part was their escape because it was really exciting and it was amazing that they survived that. It looks like it will make a really good movie."
With such resounding endorsements, I read the book myself. I have to admit, I'm looking forward to the movie, too. Knowing that this is based on a true story just makes it all the more fascinating. Two sisters, kidnapped by Indians in 1755, who not only escape, but live to tell about it? Amazing. I have to admit, I will be bringing Kleenex when I see the movie, as I cried just reading the book.
Would you like to WIN a copy of this book??

ReplyDeleteHi...my comment LOL
ReplyDeleteSorry saw I was supposed to post the last movie I saw. It was the Cruds. Terrible rotten movie that Em wanted to see.

ReplyDeleteThe last movie I saw was Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters.
ReplyDeleteI last saw Pacific Rim! I loved this book when I read it years ago. Did you know that the book, I Am Regina, is the other sister in the story? It is also a good book too.
ReplyDeleteWarmly,

I didn't know that! I'll have to see if I can get it from the library, thank you.
DeleteIt has been a long time since I saw a movie. I'm guessing it was The Help.

We love that book, can't wait to see the movie..
ReplyDeleteSo great to have good movies nowadays.
I believe it was Voyage of the Dawn Treader. I know...I am a busy mama and not enough good movies for me to take the time to see.
ReplyDeleteThe last one I saw was Courageous, I think. Not much to choose from in the theater so it would be nice to have another decent movie again!
