MWSA Book Review

The Legend of Willow Springs Farm

Author:  Jan E. Culbertson

Publisher:  AuthorHouse

Reviewer: Bill McDonald – President of the MWSA

Story Would Make Great Children’s Movie!

You can tell that the author, Jan Culbertson, is a father and grandfather. He takes a good tale for children and weaves it into a moving action adventure for young people. His book, “The Legend Of Willow Springs’ Farm” is the kind of story that you would expect to be made into a good children’s movie. It has all the right elements to keep a younger audience’s attention. There is a little mystery, danger, lost treasure, horses, grandma’s old farm and even a villain. It is a perfect book to be read to young children and even a better book for fourth graders and above to read for themselves.

I read each and every page and enjoyed it and I am a 60 year young man! I think when my grandchildren get a couple years older I will read it to them.

The author writes from the point of view of two young girls who go to visit their grandmother’s farm. He captures that energy and spirit in his writing style and makes it believable. The book is family friendly. Boys as well as girls will enjoy the book; as will their grandparents and parents!

This gets the MWSA's Family Rating of Five Stars!
