Once Upon a Summer Audiobook

" This is another great series that I love to read! "

" I have been reading a lot of novels lately that have women/young women as the main character, but the central character in this book is a 10 year old boy. Nice change of pace, very enjoyable to read, and a good message (but what other kind of message could there be with Janette Oke as the author?). I definitely recommend this book. "

" Book on CD. Typical Janetter Oke. The story telling was okay, and I liked it better than some of her other books. At times I felt a bit spoon fed with the story and the lessons, and the characters could have been more developed, but overall a good clean read. "

" This was a nice easy read. I loved the first person telling from the mind of a young boy. "

" Enjoyed this book very much! Even though I had read the 3rd book in this series first, I enjoyed this story of Josh Jones and his family. The focus of this book was on Josh's young aunt, Lou. "

" This is such a nice story..from the viewpoint a young boy. I will be listening to the other 3 books in the series. "

" This was a wonderful family story, clean and easy to read, about characters and situations that seemed real and that were easy to care about. I thourghouly enjoyed it and look forward to more of her books. "

" My Grandmother gave me this series for my birthday. It's very light and old-fashioned, very pleasant to read. Not the most accurate historically, in regard to health care, treatment of women, and tough farm life, but I nice rose colored version. "

" This 'Christian fiction' book is told from the perspective of a young boy, which makes it unique. It has a great balance of humor and touching moments. I'm definitely going to find more by this author. "

" I really enjoyed this book! At first I couldn't seem to get past the use of words such as "iffin and crik", but when you realize it's from a kid's (a boy at that) perspective, it seemed much more acceptable. I thought it was a very easy and enjoyable read. "

" Another quick read from Janette Oke. I do enjoy her clean books with strong Christian values. "

" An orphaned boy finds his security in God after his aunt, who has raised him, marries and moves away. Seasons of the Heart book 1. "

" I read all of Janette Oke's books in junior high and I remember really liking them. So I thought it was time to read them again. This series is an easy read and I enjoy the small town, farm boy feel. "

" This book was well written (it felt like i was reading a letter from that time period). I was a little skeptical at first but once i started reading it i was sucked in. It's a good short story about only 200 pages. I did feel a lot of compassion for the characters in this book. "

" Sweet story of a boy growing up. Great read! "

" Finally Oke went back to great details, I feel like I am part of the story again, excited about moving on to the next one! "

" I liked it the first time I read it, but could not find more of the series. "

" This was a warm and charming book that was very fun to listen to. "

" A great little wholesome read for the summer "

" This is the first book in Josh Jones life. Halrious, yet sweet. You'll love it. "

" Loved it! Fun, easy read that is sort of a "good ol' days" book. My favorite kind! "

" I loved this book. It was refreshing. I liked the way they talked. They drop the g off everthing. "

" I rate this book 3.5 stars!:) Very good! "

" It was great book to get you informed about the characters and kept my attention so I would want to read the rest of the story. Some parts I had to use my imagination to get through the situation. But then again it isn't easy to try and express a 13 year old boys feelings. "

" I have "read" this 2x. I loved it. I liked how they all got along together, especially Josh & Gramps. "

" I loved this series. It was kind of like Little House on the Prairie from a boy's perspective. "

" This is a "coming of age" book. If you like The Education Of Little Tree or Cold Sassy Tree, you will enjoy this also. "

" so cute, i loved it "

" This is the story of Joshua who was orphaned as an infant and now lives with his grandfather, aunt lou and great uncle. It is completely from the 13 year old boys perspective in the early 1900s so you get some fun antics and make believe along with his worries for the future. "

" Probably my favorite of the Janette Oke books that I have read. Endearing characters, funny situations, and a feel good love story. "

" Haven't read this author much, but was ready for something light and family friendly. It didn't disapoint. Will do another one on the next road trip. "

" Typical Janette Oke, sweet stories, easy read and nothing offensive. Always a nice breath of fresh air. "

" I really enjoyed this series. I recommend it to everyone. It's mostly uplifting, but also has great points of going through real life challenges. "

" A great reading of a young boy during his life from childhood till an adult. enjoyed this book. "

" I love Janette Oke! Her books take me back to a time when life was about family, hard work and introduce me to characters developing their faith in Christ. If I could step back in time it would be this time period for sure! "

" Love these books!!! Love anything from Janette Oke. They speak of a much simpler life! Wonderful reading!!! "
